Independance Day in Polebridge






Well, after an extremely busy week, I am finally getting around to posting the 4th of July celebration in Polebridge, MT, just outside the northwest entrance to Glacier National Park.




We've heard stories, but never experienced it.... we can no longer say that.


Up the dusty Northfork we went and after enjoying a dirt sandwich from the trucks and cars (yes, ... there was traffic) in front of us, we arrived and drove down the already people lined parade route to our parking spot. After setting up the chairs and cooler, Hill was asked to be a judge and that gave her the perfect seat for getting video. (see video)










What a party! The parade started a little after noon and there was a line of floats ready to do their thing for the judges. The noxious weed group put on a great show and took first place. There was also bears chasing joggers, grandmas featherbed, a good ol blue grass band, and a great show from a line of pack mules. Candy was thrown, beverages consumed, baked goods eaten, burgers and beer devoured, children laughed .... and a great time was had by all.




See you next year ... at Polebridge.

Great coverage but you forgot to mention Sasha the 3 legged Polebridge Ambassadore. A beautiful, friendly K9 redident of that quaint little town that has always greeted us on visits there... probably alergic to crowds.
