4th of July in Landgrove

We arrived in Landgrove in time for the 4th of July parade. The parade included a marching band and many Landgrovians. The parade ended at the WWII monument and a gentlemen shared some sentiments. The festivities ended with a sing-a-long accompanied the Landgrove symphony orchestra.

I enjoyed listening to conversations between the Landgrovians. I quickly became aware of intense familial loyalties. In addition to these loyalties, it also became apparent that the people were loyal to the land. Many of the properties in Landgrove have been in families for generations. Land is important to them. They identify with the land.

We concluded the holiday festivities in Ludlow. We watched some wonderful fireworks.


Following the fireworks, everyone was eager to sleep due to the long drive and festive day.
