Our parade celebrating our independence and highlighting the many activities we are fortunate enough to have at our beautiful village was held on the July 4th weekend. Afterwards, we gathered for a picnic down by the lake, but so did the storm clouds! We started eating and then grabbed our things to make a mad dash to the rec center to finish our meals and for a hula hoop contest, pie eating contest, and axe throwing contest. Sadly, we could not do the balloon toss indoors, but plenty of fun and socialization was had while the rain poured down outside.
