Fourth of July Parade

Quechee SP celebrated Independence Day with a parade and a bike race...

Kids started showing up around 9 AM to decorate bikes for the parade which began at 10, led by our grand marshal, Uncle Sam (Dale - volunteer host) and our own Miss Quechee (Kate) Driver is Carol, also a volunteer.































Alvin drove the resplendent John Deere for the grande finale! 


The bike race consisted of 2 riders under the age of 13 and 7 ages 14 and over. We had scheduled 10 laps but called them in after 7 because of the extreme heat and humidity. I was running the stop watch and lap counter, not taking photos. Alvin was the flag man who started and ended the race. 

We immediately headed for home and AC for a couple of hours before manning the office until closing time. The park is booked 100% for the weekend despite the crummy weather. Take more than a little rain to spoil a camping trip.
