Happy 4th of July!

A Past season....

Friday evening, July 4th, Riverside park will be full of activity. Music, fireworks and hundreds of people will be there Celebrating our Nation's birth as well as time with friends and family.

But this picture of the bridge was July 4, 2020. Due to the covid pandemic , there were no fireworks, no crowds and little human contact. A sad time in our nation.

I try to look for where the glimmer of hope is or could be, so thought since we can't have fireworks, let's brighten the bridge with balloons! I then asked Todd Larson, Yankton Parks and City activities director, if I could put up some balloons by the bridge, which he agreed to. I then proceded to do so, and hopefully spread a little sunshine with a few smiles during this dark season. Thankful to be past that era.

Tommorrow night once again will bring forth the sounds and sights of freedom. Yankton always puts on a fantastic fireworks show. Thankful to have "Normal" back again. Time to Celebrate!
