Fourth of July in Shullsburg

The gang all gathered on a curb for the fourth of July parade in Shullsburg, Wisconsin. Candy is thrown during the parade, so a curb side seat is a necessity.

Among many other entrants, tractors old...

...and new were a major feature of the parade.

After the parade games were held in Shullsburg park. The grandchildren won the initial heats and the semi-finals, facing off against each other in an all-non-Shullsburg final. Team Spain-Micronesia beat team Connecticut-Micronesia.

Despite a best effort, the top cup cake eater from Micronesia was unable to beat Shullsburg's best cupcake eaters.

My youngest got a taste of holding a fire hose in a game where two kids faced off with hoses and tried to push an aerial barrel on a wire. Shullsburg tanker 361 provided the water and hose lines, many thanks to the fire fighters of Shullsburg for their time, effort, and equipment!
