Reliving Our Island’s 4th of July Festivities

What a beautiful weekend it was for celebrating our freedom…

West Beach Resort
12 years here and it’s the first time I’ve been to the Deer Harbor fireworks!
They were awesome!
Carey: Mr. Chamber of Commerce
The fireworks boat getting ready in Eastsound
The band at the Village Green before the fireworks
Cosmic Charlie’s frontman Michael Wegner in the Orcas spirit
The Episcopal Church serving ice cream to Jim and hundreds of others before the fireworks
The hoardes in the street walking back after the fireworks
The weekend after the 4th
The 4th of July parade on Saturday the 6th
The fly-over to honor Apollo 8 astronaut and islander Bill Anders at the beginning of the parade
Ken and Karen Speck of Cherie L. Lindholm Real Estate announcing all the folks in the parade
Ken and Karen were both radio and TV personalities, so they are perfect for the job
They are also faithful decorators for all the big holidays!
The Community Band looks on
