For a change, this photographer (Andy Towle) had a holiday where he didn't work. Dennis Fendler stepped in and did a great job covering the events and being everywhere at once. Thank you, Dennis. However, I wrote the blurbs (cutlines) under the pictures, so if you aren't pleased with the comments, leave Fendler alone and come and find me. I'll take the hit. Hope your holiday was as good as mine.
Bill Sahno started out the Fourth of July ceremonies at Green Valley Park at the memorial site.
Saluting the colors is a time honored tradition at events of this particular nature, especially during the birthday celebration of our nation.
Taking time out to pose for a group picture, these fine members of our military, mostly retired, remember many of their comrades who are not here to partiake in this ceremony.
Listening intently to the ceremonies during the patriotic service a soldier and his family are absorbed in the activities.
Wow, how that for color coordination and appropriateness?
Lou Levison appaludes Ariana and Caleb March after they have recited the Declaration of Independance from memory at Green Valley Park during a patriotic ceremony.
The extended family of Tom and Claire Waitz, came from Phoenix and Flagstaff and gathered at Green Valley Park to participate in the Fourth of July festivities.
Finding one of the few spots with shade this family and friends took full advantage of the situation.
It's a parade, what else can one say?
Ashlyn and Taelyn Boocock are in the thick of it and having a great time during the Fourth of July parade down Main Street.
Ranee Forney, and Denise and Sarah Bomar ride a buggy pulled by a Llama in the Fourth of July parade. The sign on the side of the buggy is a tribute to Forney's mother Ronzella Zingales, who was very supportative of the Humane Society.
Oh boy, what our children get to do is always the best part of any fun activity. Just ask these two young people, in about 15 years. They will remember it completely differently than they do now.
Like father like son. I hope that's a boy.
It's sack race time on the green at Green Valley Park.
Sack races are a fun activity for young and old, but especially the young and coordinated.
Is this the cheer section or are they getting mentally prepared for their sack race?
Are they twins? If not, they should be.
A relaxing time between vigorous activity.
You provide the comments. Fireworks are their own reward.
Tug-of-war between Payson and all comers from everywhere else. Payson won all three matches. Ha!
I win!!!

Do you think new Principal Anna Van Zile has a valid idea in eliminating the Asst. Principal and replacing it with an Athletic Director position that would share her duties as Principal?
