Monday, July 4, 2016: JULY 4TH


For a small town, Silverton knows how to do a 4th of July.  The parade was entertaining as always and the crowds always show up.  The population swells from 600 to 20 or 30 thousand to take advantage of the Parade, Rhubarb Festival, duckie race, Kendall Mountain run, fireworks, etc.  

Local heroes:
This little rag-tag band of locals make some good music.  They also play every Sunday evening in the middle of Main Street - always draw a large crowd. 
Love watching these guys climb over each other.

Thinking we could do this to our Rubicon - same color:

Used to be the firemen doused EVERYONE with water at the end of the parade.  Gave us time to get out of harm's way.  This year, they had trucks dispersed thru-out the parade.  No escaping a drenching!
   


A few random floats/entries:
LOUD rifles:
 
Ladies of Blair Street
  

At the end of the parade, F16s come in just over the mountain, sweep down low and buzz the parade route before flying off into the clouds again.  I am also including a picture from last year as I believe they were lower. 

  

   

 

  

  
The fireworks were shot from a different location this year.
We didn't like it as well.
