Whatever happened to small town America? The way of life, the values, the sense of giving because you were a part.

I am indeed thankful that it still exists. Albeit in scattered pockets but it’s there.

I know that a year ago I reflected on festivities in a small community of several towns that band together to celebrate Independence Day, but I’m here to do it again. It’s refreshing to see people excited about a parade of the local fire department and the “lawn chair marching band.” Thank you people of the Mohawk Valley in northern California for sharing.
