Fourth of July Parade

July 6, 2009 By Mike Bumbeck

parade_leadThe local Fourth of July parade is always a good place to kick things off on the most red, white, and blue of American holidays. Thanks to the Redwood City staging its parade participants nearby to the Clunkbucket estate, we got to catch the action up close even before the show even started. Waking up to the opening theme from the Flintstones being played on a trombone and the sound of Shriners cars being run up and down the street is something that should happen every morning. The Fourth of July parade is the one place to find a pipe organ pulled by a sixties-era lawn tractor and a machine that flips compact donut goodness into a delicious snack right before your eyes all on the same great day. There’s no better way to celebrate our nation’s independence than finding out just what makes wherever you are famous.
