Lake Linden-Hubbell-Tamarack 4th of July Parade Part 1

Last week, we left the Keweenaw to visit family in lower Michigan. It’s rough to leave the area for a whole week, but at the same time it is nice to have a change in scenery. I could have done without the stop and go traffic on southbound I-75 on the way down there, but it did lead to a little adventure cruising some back roads in Northern Michigan. It was fun.

I was still very glad to be back home. We missed the Strawberry Festival in Chassell last weekend, but I have a feeling we’ll have to visit a pick-your-own strawberry place this weekend. Mmmm…love those local strawberries!

I also love the 4th of July! My favorite summer day in the Keweenaw is the 4th of July. You have the Lake Linden-Hubbell-Tamarack City parade in the morning. Then you have the Copper Harbor fireworks at night. Of course, there are other happenings scattered across the Copper Country, but I look forward to those two events every year.

We haven’t always watched the 4th of July parade – it became a yearly tradition after our son was born and we lived in Tamarack City. We no longer live there, but we still watch the parade there instead of Lake Linden or Hubbell.

Without further ado, here are some pics from the parade. Since I took quite a few pics, I’ll split up the posts for those who have a slower connection.

Stay tuned for more photos…
