The July Fourth Holiday was spectacular!

Thanks to everyone for three great parades. We had a great group of people walking with us at each location and community members were out in droves. We were in Crozet on July 2, Free Union on July 3, and Earlysville on July 4. Each parade is quite different and each was spectacular in its own way; so much fun for all. Pictures below:
