Mill City Fourth of July Celebration 2008

Pull up a chair and enjoy the parade.

The Grand Parade began with the American Legion Color Guard presentation of the flag.

Quickly followed by the Grand Marshal; Josephine Reid and the Mill City Mayor; Tim Kirsch.

The Freres Lumber Company entered a three-log load log truck.

Dan and Sandy Phelps and family, former Mill City residents, grace the parade with their magnificent stage coach and team of Clydesdale horses.

Our parade wouldn’t be complete without the Santiam Shrine Club entry and the little motorized bathtubs. Check out the spray of gravel from this one! I didn’t think it would peel out but it did!

The parade was short but well organized.

There is nothing like the start of the fireworks Mill City. The whoomp of the first cake out of the mortar and the echo throughout the canyon from the explosion is spine chilling. The Mill City Fire Department provided a wonderful display of fireworks this year. Way to go fellas!
