A Fantastic Fourth of July Parade in Danville
Kudos to the Kiwanis Club of San Ramon Valley for hosting what looked like the best Danville Fourth of July Parade ever!
I was lucky enough to ride in the parade on a fire truck with Mary and my son Michael, and had a birds-eye view of the more than 40,00 attendees, cheering and waving American flags as the hundreds of creative floats, veterans' organizations, bands, and local sports teams marched by.
This year was not only the 50th anniversary of the Danville Fourth of July Parade, it was also the 150th birthday of the town. Danville certainly celebrated its sesquicentennial bash with flair!
To all the supporters that came out to walk with us and all those that shouted words of encouragement along the route: THANK YOU! You are the reason I get up each day and fight for clean air and water, benefits for our veterans, and sensible energy policies.
A special thanks to Diane and John Ravnik for all the photos of the event!
