Shadows stretch from tall pines at Valley Grande City Park

  as a couple of women take advantage of the walking trail. 

The path meanders through sun and shade,

 picnic and playground areas.

Patriotism in the Park

Hundreds gathered at Valley Grande's city park Sunday evening to celebrate America's 234 years of independence. Red, white and blue bows and banners decorated the walking trail's entrance. There were parades, games, food and a lot of meeting and greeting before fireworks began at 9 p.m.
