Fourth of July Festivities

Catonsville’s big day is July 4 (or if the 4th is on Sunday, July 3). The parade starts at 3 and goes until about 5. Then the fireworks start about 9:30 and last 30-40 minutes. No pictures of fireworks this year, but they were good. I missed half of them though, Charlie started falling asleep watching them, so we headed off to bed.

Here are some parade pictures. Walking to the parade:

Waiting for it to start. It was a lovely day, with not too much humidity and a high of 87, but it still was hot in the sun.

The Lone Ranger was there this year.

This is our friend  Fred who is a town crier. He participated in a competition in England last month.

The fire trucks squirt the crowd and some people bring their super soakers and soak the fire truck.
