Fourth of July - Montana Style
When Theresa called to get tickets, the lady on the phone said, “Honey, you best be thinkin about tickets a year in advance.”
Really, for a Rodeo?
In that moment it hit me how important is place and tradition and the desire to celebrate such on America’s coveted birthday. In the summer sun…
Growing up in Maine, The Fourth began with a parade through the neighborhood followed by a costume awards ceremony. One year I won a ribbon that said, “Marvelous” because I dressed like a hula girl with a generous chest size amplified by five pairs of socks.
Then there would be games on the Reserve, which was the large patch of grass that perched there above clay cliffs overlooking Casco Bay – the gateway to the north Atlantic. Egg toss, Balloon Toss, 3 legged race, potato sack race and a tug of war, where the losers would be yanked into an actual mud pit.
Then the watermelon hunt, followed by the talent show and then a big bonfire surrounded by barbeques and bottle rockets. We’d all run around while the older folks sat around yapping and getting lose on cool beverages.
