This year marks 125 years of existance for some of our area communities. Devils Lake and Lakota both celebrated their Quasiquicentennial over the 4th of July. I was able to attend Lakota's celebration. Friday they had a street dance with the Roosters providing the music. It was AWESOME!! The bass players' neice is my cousin Kaylas best friend, so I got to meet the band! This isn't some garage band. This band has a song on the radio!! I met my brother and his friend at the beer garden and we had a blast. Especially when my uncle Randy found us! He is a one man party that man!
Saturday Morning brought the best of the weekend! The Parade!! 
Waiting for it to start!
HERE THEY COME!! & The Shriners from Devils Lake.
Old Glory!!
Dave's brother John on the "H" that they restored with his wife and 4 sons in the manure spreader. I love the sign it says "Here's to the cows, the chores keep us fit. The chore we like least is shoveling...........MANURE!!"
Hardware Hank and the Johnsons hardware crew. That's my cousin Ian in the inflatable suit. He said the fan went out in it so it wasn't really inflated. He thought Elton (the parade announcer) would make a comment about liposuction!!
This is what we will all be driving if the gas prices get much higher!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAYLAKOTA!!!!!
OOOOOOOOO Shiny Thing!!! This sign is cute!
This is the COOLEST flame job ever!!! & That is a HUGE trike!
OOPS!!! I think he has a flat tire!
These are just a few of the great parade entries!! My camera battery went dead half way through. I missed the horses which included the Budweiser Clydesdales, the Stump Lake Tractor Club, and SO much more!! The parade began at 10:30 and didn't end until just after noon!!
I was able to take McKayla to the "Bouncy games" on the lawn of the courthouse and out to supper at Dairy Queen. Then we had another street dance and the Fireworks!!! It was a very fun filled weekend. Now, we can prepare for Michigans' 125th the weekend of July 24-27. I hope that we have good weather and a great time their as well!! I assume that my house will be full--Dave's sisters will have to sleep somewhere!!
