The day started out with a parade through the campground. Anyone who wanted to be in it could be in it. We heard music from the Wild Rose Band (pictured playing their music on a truck) . One float carried a member of our service (pictured with Uncle Sam).



What's a parade without horses?

The next event of the day was the Homemade Boat Race Down the River. About 150 kids made boats. The race started at the bridge on the west side of the campground. At the gun shot, they threw their boats into the river and everyone ran down the river's edge to the finish line to see which boat got to the finish line first. (east side of the campground). It was about a 1.5 mile race. Kids were lined up in the river (brrrrrr it's cold) to catch boats (see picture). Some boats may end up in the Gulf of Mexico!!!!!!!!


The evening ended with a BBQ diner and Street Dance.



The day ended with fireworks in South Fork - a town about 5 miles from the park.
