Happy 4th of July!

It is time for the Old Fashioned 4th of July here in Forks.  The merchants are taking part in a window decorating contest.  There will an Arts and Crafts Fair, Parade, Salmon BBQ, vendors in the park and a Demolition Derby.  This year the fireworks display will be on Saturday, July 5.  There is an emergency shortage of pyrotechnics operators, so our show will be delayed for a day.  We will enjoy them, regardless and there seem to be plenty of personal fireworks in the neighborhood to keep us entertained.

We have had some beautiful summer days this week.  Even had to put the window air conditioners in to cool us off at nights.  Yesterday we took advantage of the lovely weather and went up to Hurricane Ridge. We took one of the daily ranger led walks, and learned all about the alpine meadows.  Well worth our time.  The lupine were out, too.

Enjoy the 4th of July and the freedoms that we are lucky enough to enjoy.

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?

First Time for the Flag From This Country

July 1, 2011

Besides being the first of July, we have another first to report. This is the first time we have had the opportunity to fly this particular flag. Do you know what country it represents? You will also see the Union Jack in the background in honor of our guests from the United Kingdom.

Forks is gearing up for our Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration. The events start tomorrow with Kiddies Play Day and Moonlight Madness with the downtown merchants. Most everyone will have a special going between 7PM and 11PM tomorrow night.

Though our weather today started with a cloud cover. Currently the sun is out, so vampires will be sparkling! They will definitely need to wait until twilight to take advantage of this weekend's activities.
