The fourth of July in Crested Butte is a glorious sight and we had a great time at the parade and the many festivities that followed. The parade is like most small town parades, absolutely the best!! Lots of home grown floats, cars filled with waving people, tons of red, white and blue, ending with fire trucks blowing their sirens and shooting their water hoses. The tradition here is to have a huge water fight at the end. They've had to create a zone so that the non participants can keep their cameras dry. It was hot so Jocelyn and I took the chance and went in to catch a spray or two. The egg toss , pie eating contest, log sawing contest, and other things that took place on the main street (shut down for the day) were so perfect. Then off to Gunnison for a bbq at the koa (home for the week) and a night of fireworks. Spectacular fireworks but very random. It was done in fazes and in between they would light up a square grid of fizzly fire lights in the shape of a duck. We never did figure that out. Cool to have a little bit of mystery.
