Volunteers register the parade participants
amidst raindrops. |
City of Lincoln Alderwoman Joni Tibbs, who was
also a member of the Heritage Days Committee, hands out American
flags to all parade participants. |

The participants dressed in orange T-shirts
were involved in ScoutSweep 2009. Cub Scout Troops 105 and 111 were
selected by the mayor to lead the parade.
|
The parade was not just for children, as
several adults joined their kids, walking with them, and some even
on bikes. |
 |
|
|
Even though kids may not mind parading in the
rain, sometimes the adults just can't resist trying to protect them
from the elements; it's just their nature.
|
Entering into the Rec Center parking lot,
parade participants get a first peek at what may lay ahead during
the water balloon fights with the Lincoln City Fire Department.

Kena Bere and her mother, Njari, smile happily
as they participate in the parade. Njari, a native of Kenya and a
teacher at Lincoln Christian College, is celebrating her first
Independence Day as a United States citizen, having been sworn in on
May 22.
