the fourth of july is observed with great fanfare and gusto at camp. the day involves costumes, lots of decorations, a carnival, parade, picnic, concert, and and light show. it's probably the strangest parade you'll never see, complete with fire trucks, a marching band and color guard, a float, and miss ligonier 2004 and 2007. we also throw in things you're likely not to see elsewhere--darth vader, elmo, a gorilla, and a cornucopia of golf carts, atvs, tractors, and riding mowers decorated in their finest red, white and blue. the whole day is weeeeird, but silly and fun.
