I woke up and there was actually a light frost on the roof. It was supposed to be 77 for high, so it is going to be a cool 4th of July, which is great for a parade.
The first thing happening today was a guy with a powered para-glider was going to come buy and fly over my house and a few other spots in the area. He was going to launch from my field and film my house, which I thought would be cool to see. This guy has flown several amazing locations in Central Oregon and I thought it was neat he would fly my house. He launched and flew around for a while and then headed over to the river and Eagle Crest Resort.
I headed off to the parade at 7:50 am and we were all set for a big parade. Our new safety rules were in place and we had a record participation. With nearly 117 entries, we estimated the parade should last about 2 hours. The parade starts at 10 am, so we estimated we would be done around noon. The parade went off with out a hitch and with the 8 block parade route lined with thousands of spectators, everyone had a great time. We had several car clubs including the High Desert A's and I always enjoy watching these great old cars.
For the evening I invited a bunch of friends over for burgers on the barbeque and then to watch Bend and Redmond's fireworks from my driveway. It was a great time with friends and a fun way to celebrate the holiday.
