It's sooo different 1,200 miles North of Seaside on the 4th. of July parade. We celebtrate every year in Harbor Springs, MI with the July 4th. parade, arts & craft show, people watching, walking the beach looking at boats & the grand finally fireworks over the bay. It's like a Norman Rockwell happening.
The highligt is watching the military young & old at the parade's lead. Everyone stands with their hand on their heart and tears roll down everyones face. It's truly a wonderful feeling to be an American.
Here's a few photo's
BTW: SoWal & Northern Mi are different, but people are the same.
