You could give a child a bag of candy the size of what they could collect at the parade, and they’d still want to go to the parade. It’s kid logic: it’s just more fun to run as far as your mom will let you onto the street, to beat your brother to the gummy bears, and to check out the good candy and who was stingy throwing treats.
The Charlo kids proved this hypothesis at the annual Fourth of July Parade.
The theme this year was Faith, Farmin’ and Freedom. The parade began with two veterans carrying the American flag and the Montana flag and a third veteran playing patriotic songs on the fife.
