Forks Fourth of July Re-Cap & Which Country Is This?

Tuesday, July 5, 2011

We had a beautiful day for our Forks Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration. The parade, was fun, sunny and warm, the Lion's Club Salmon BBQ was great and the Demolition Derby and Fireworks were a success.

The Fire Dog on the back of the antique fire truck is one of the Miller Tree Inn's housekeepers. She was pretty warm inside the costume. Another one of our housekeepers drove a car in the powder puff division of the demolition derby. She didn't win, but made a good showing for her first time as a driver.

We had some out of the country guests take part in the activities of the day and put this flag out for the first time. What country were our guests from?

Happy 4th of July from Forks, WA

The "Tourists of the Day" for our Old Fashioned 4th of July Festival stayed with us at the "Cullen House" aka the Miller Tree Inn. They came to us from Pearcedale, Australia. Our local Chamber of Commerce Director came and interviewed them this morning over our traditional 4th of July fare, "Red, White and Blueberry French Toast." After breakfast they were driven down main street in our parade, were given tickets to the Lion's Club Salmon Bake and Demolition Derby. Fireworks at dusk will complete their day and they will enjoy the many gifts that the merchants of Forks put together for them.

We were able to take Pocket Edward to the Parade today. It was cloudy and misty, just like he likes it. He spent most of the day hanging out under our umbrella.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Thank a veteran for their part in keeping our country free.
