Small Town 4th of July-Dubois WY

We weren't quite sure what to expect for the 4th of July festivities in Dubois - population 971.  The fireworks display was canceled due to fire restrictions, but there was a parade, kids games and fireman's BBQ scheduled. 

The announcer for the kids games and parade did a good job....although he could've been PG-13 rated sometimes and he wasn't always PC.  He managed to get the crowd - kids and adults alike - involved in the water balloon toss, hula hoop game and bucket brigade.

The parade had some interesting entries

I think the favorite for kids and adults alike - in the 90+ temperatures was all of the fire trucks spraying water as they came down the street.  I got soaked and didn't mind at all.

After the parade, we walked down to the the Dubois Volunteer Fire Department's new building for their BBQ and grand opening.  It was a fun day.
