July Blog

1995 Delano Princess

Celebrating the Fourth of July in Delano is something that I’ve done for as long as I can remember .  I grew up going to the carnival, being in the parade, even running for Miss Delano.  When I started having kids of my own, the traditions continued. Some years we watched the parade… other years, my kids were in it. We’d go to the carnival and ride the same carnival rides I did as a kid…  I swear it’s the same tilt-a-whirl and zipper that I rode as a teenager.  The corn dogs taste exactly the same and I still crave that bag of cotton candy.  Even though my kids are grown, their faces still light up when the carnival comes to town.  And yes, you’ll still find us all there creating memories together with our friends and family.  Wishing you all a fun and safe Fourth of July weekend… may your memories and pictures be plentiful!

I used to spend so much time in front of this funhouse watching my kids go through over and over again - gotta love wrist band night! Pictured is Jordan wearing the 4th of July T-shirt we made together for him to wear to the carnival.
