Patriotic Pooch
The Red Hat Ladies
The sun finally came out to help celebrate the 4th of July. The parade in Munising, Michigan was of typical small town variety. Parade entrants were made up of one of the following: a) Flat bed trucks carrying members of the "Class of 19___"; b) Fire engines and other city vehicles with lights flashing from Munising and surrounding towns; or c) Local business delivery trucks with employees handing out candy to the kids. There were a few exceptions, like the red hat ladies with their purple shirts and boas, and the patriotic pooch stenciled with stars and stripes. The parade was hokey and fun . . . but the people watching was even more entertaining!
Because the sun doesn't set until 9:43 pm this time of year, the fireworks were scheduled to begin at 10:30 pm. We prepared adequately, took a nap so we could stay up late, and headed to downtown Munising about 10:20. Got a great "watching spot" and waited. And waited. 10:45 pm . . . no fireworks. 11:00 pm . . . no fireworks. 11:10pm . . . one firework burst, then nothing. 11:15 . . . we figured the rain had gotten all the fireworks wet the previous few days. So we drove back to the RV camp site. About the time we arrived we heard the explosions begin. Not to be dissuade, we went to bed.
