u/AnfreloSt-Da

I love Minnesota (it’s my favorite place to live) but I miss Independence Day parades. The towns near me in the North Metro only hold parades for their respective town festivals at other times of the year. There are patriotic displays all over town and fireworks. But no parades. I really miss Independence Day parades.

The rural Indiana town I grew up in held a parade in the morning, a fair on school grounds during the day (turtle races are stupidly fun) and fireworks in the evening or the night before.

We worked in our yard this morning. Not anything like as fun as a parade. Sigh.

*No turtles were harmed in the making of these memories.*

Just so impressive.
