In the city of Lincoln, the
Fourth
just wouldn't be the Fourth without the annual Old-Fashioned Children's
Walking Parade. Each year kids turn out by the dozens wearing
their best patriotic garb. They bring along their bikes, also
decorated, or wagons, or sometimes their pets. Then the group
takes to the streets, traveling from Scully Park out to the Lincoln
Park District. Once at
the park district, they're treated to prizes for their efforts in
decorating and get a good soaking from the city of Lincoln Fire
Department. This year,
even though it was hotter than normal, it seemed that there were
more participants than ever.
