4th of July`

The 4th of July celebrations are a big community event here in Klawock. We have really enjoyed them and hope to make them our "family" holiday. We are thinking that even when the kids grow up and move out, hopefully they will come back home for the 4th of July. I would love to have Christmas be that, but with winter time travel what it is here, I think it is more realistic to plan for the summer time.
This year, we spent the 3rd of July with the baptist church in Craig watching the Craig fireworks at one of their members homes. We had a very nice time, and the weather was perfect for fireworks.
July 4th, the church had a truck in the parade. Madison Nickerson was the 4th of July queen this year, so we had the queen on our truck! Fun and games all afternoon at the school yard! We got home late afternoon and everybody was so tired and sunburned that we all crashed and missed the Klawock fireworks.
We have had such beautiful weather here this summer. Even lifetime residents are commenting on how much sun we have had.
