We had heard the 4th of July celebration in Ridgefield was like an old time celebration, so we made plans to be around for the festivities. When we drove into town the evening before the parade we realized it might be a bigger celebration than we were expecting as the entire parade route was already lined with chairs saving prime viewing space. Bertha, Nancy and I went down early to see if we could find a place for our chairs. The next morning we found our small town was being invaded by folks for the festivities.
When Brett and Cecilia arrived he informed us he was glad he could park at our place as people were parking up to a mile away! The children’s parade was short and we visited while waiting for the main parade. Little did we know it would go on for about an hour and a half with lots of prizes being distributed to the kids. The kids had bags full of everything from
Candy to toothbrushes and even bird seed packets promoting the fall bird fest. The parade included quite a variety of groups, including antique cars and tractors, motorcycles, marching bands, horseback riders, emergency vehicles, etc. During the rest of the day there were activities all around the town but we spent most of the time hanging out on our
deck. That evening we were treated to lots of fireworks. The city put on a great display and many locals also had high powered fireworks to display.
