Summer arrived on the 4th of July. Although compared to last year the temperature was better but still lots of sunburns!

This year’s Grand Parade offered about 70 entries and featured several entries that paid tribute to those no longer with us.

With the passing of Erik Andersen, his family brought out his red Kenworth which appeared for the last time and will be placed in a museum in Oregon.
