Dove Creek, Colorado

The crowd begins to gather

At the Post Office

At the Park

At the local watering hole

VFW Leads the pack

Green vehicle

Why restore it?

It runs fine.

What did ya expect?

This ain't the East.

Honk if you have horns

It ain't a parade without tractors

Not all the parade entries are elaborate.

Just fun

After the parade, everyone moves to Weber park for the day's celebration.

The four living World War II veterans in Dolores County were recognized with a brief history of their service and given plaques from a greatful community

The Pit Full o' Pork is opened and the folks begin to line up for the feast

Part of the wall honoring local veterans at the VFW hall

Water balloon toss

8-10 year olds race for the gold

The always popular Whack-A-buick.

Fun for all ages.

Happy Independence Day, Folks!
