What happens and when did it happen?

There was something for everyone all day and into the night. It began with the raisinging of the flag at 9:00 AM. Then, the much anticipated Parade. The 2008 Grand Marshal is John T. Cunningham.

See the 2008 Parade participants by clicking here.

The day will continue with food, fun, entertainment and a new social garden for adults 21 and over (ID required). Beer and non-alcholic beverages will be served.

On into the night and beginning at dusk was the evening concert and fireworks display.
