Independence Day in Small Town America
Celebrating the 4th of July in a small town is a cornucopia of Cowboys, corndogs, and carousels. This year we spent Independence Day with my wife’s family in Idaho, taking in as much Americana as we could.
We began yesterday by catching candy thrown from the floats at the Grangeville Border Days parade, then stuffed ourselves on shaved ice, grilled burgers and corndogs. The kids had fun spinning around on carnival rides and winning prizes from the carnies.
In the evening we enjoyed a rodeo, complete with barrel racing, steer riding, and calf roping.
Tonight we’re going to end the festivities with our own fireworks show in the front yard.
It’s been a busy few days, but we’ve made some great memories.
