July 4th in Hiram
Another glorious Independence Day celebration in Hiram today! Weather was picture perfect and there was a huge turnout for the annual Grand parade through the village. Will take days to get through all the photos I took today. Stay tuned. If I took your photo, it will appear here eventually. Thanks everyone!
July 6 update: just uploaded many more photos. Still more coming. Note: the photos are in no particular order.

Asked this little girl to blow bubbles. Took ten shots to get it right; this was the take home photo.
HPD deployed a pair of officers on bicycle to help protect the crowds.
Kids on decorated bicycles form a large portion of the parade.
Just about anything on wheels is eligible for the Grand Parade. Here's a beautiful vintage Cushman cart.
