Marking the Fourth in Clear Lake

Linda and I went back up to Clear Lake for the Fourth of July this year. Unlike last year, there were no current presidential candidates; current Iowa Senator and former presidential hopeful, Tom Harkin was joined by his wife in the parade. The Parkersburg fire department entry in the parade thanked the Clear Lake community for their support following the disasterous tornado that claimed six lives May 25th.

After the parade, Linda and I spent a little time at the park enjoying the food and atmosphere. It was a beautiful day to be by the lake.
