4th of July Celebration

I love seeing so many people lining Main St in Murdock every year during the 4th of July Parade.

It's amazing how this has become an annual tradition for so many families. For me my daughter and her kids visit from Indiana and she really looks forward to seeing friends she grew up with and shaped her youth.

It's fun to see another generation of kids catching candy, ice pops, and even hot dogs this year.

The 4-H petting zoo before the parade was very popular and kids got to cuddle soft fuzzy bunnies and learn about chickens, ducks, goats, and rabbits.
