4th of July Parade, Seward, Alaska.
I’m sure some people find small town parades kinda hokey, but when you live in the town, the small, home town parade is cool.

I love small town parades. We have them in Glendora every year for Christmas. Granted we have a bigger population than Seward but by LA County standards, it’s out in the boonies…
Agreed – small town parades have a certain something when it’s *your* small town. And thanks, Ron- I didn’t get to make it up this summer, so I’ve been especially enjoying your photos!
@ Richard I had to chuckle a bit at the thought of Glendora being a small town, but for down there it does have a small town feel.
@ Denny Sorry to hear you won’t make it up this summer but thanks!

California definitely has different standards than Alaska.
I just got back from a seminar and the speaker had worked in Alaska for ten years. I picked up on something he said that Alaskans seem to do a lot of; the guy was talking about some Alaskan hunter in Fairbanks named Mick and asked if anyone in the audience knew him (no one did) because everyone in Alaska has a story about him.
I couldn’t imagine someone randomly asking about a Californian and if we knew them. The state is too big for any two people to know the same person.
That is so true. What is surprising is how often I will have at least heard of the person they are asking about!
