Ill be in Exira at he towns 138th annual 4th of July parade. Ive got 2 vehichles to clean up before the parade starts, my folks 66 Thunderbird, and a new chevy pickup pulling the float Im involved with. The town has only not held a 4th of July parade once in all that time, 1958 it rained and rained from July 1st on. Some had 5 gallon pails outside and they were filled from the rain. 12 or 13 people lost their lives back then, ( it was before my time). This year they are honoring the survivors who helped save lives by having them as grandmashalls of the parade. Maybe next you guys and gals and come out and see what we do in small town IOWA.
