We attended the parade for the 4th in Siren, WI. Here are some images from a small town celebration.
The local veterans group presented the colors. This is an older group and the guy carrying the U.S. flag was struggling at the end.
The local band made an appearance.
There were few military vehicles and those that made an appearance were being used for other purposes.
Most parade entries throw things for kids. There were a couple of unusual offerings. I am guessing that cheese curds are unique to Wisconsin. The fire department and the local water purification service offered water. You had to run if you were not interested.
Tractors are standard entries in midwestern parades. The bigger the better.
What would be a parade without clowns.
Enjoy your 4th. It is a great country – tanks or not.
