I love Holidays in small towns. I have had the privilege to be in a small town for the 4Th of July only three times.
The first was several years ago. We shared the 4th with Aunt Nancy in Parks, Arizona. It was a small town back then, I’m not sure is it still is now. After the parade, complete with fire engine and cars, bicycles and a few horses, we had a water gun street fight shoot out. It was a blast. Small towns just seem to plan bigger or maybe everything is just closer together so you can get to more of the scheduled events. West is just 4 blocks by 8 blocks in size, and we still didn’t get to it all. Some of these photos were shared by friends that went a different direction than we did.
The town West Yellowstone has a year round population of around 1,200 and swells to somewhere around 12,000 at any given time during tourist season. The 4th was a small town celebration on a wonderful scale.
Pie On the Porch was an hour wait. I know I’ve said I wouldn’t wait that long for food but, pie on the porch is the yearly fund raiser for the local museum and it was REALLY good pie.
Fun and good food with our work family.
Who doesn’t love a parade!
Thanks for check in on our semi-retirement adventures. We hope these pictures brought great memories for all y’all.
