4th of July Parade in Garden Valley
Ten years ago it was a pipe dream to think we would be in the annual 4th of July parade. After several years of having a blood pressure booth at this event, we decided last year we would be a part of the parade this year…our tenth anniversary.
We had only positive upbeat cheering and support from a cross culture of Garden Valleys’ citizenry. I was so stoked to have such support, but it didn’t end there…we got a second place ribbon for the `organized walker’ category. We actually beat out the high school cheer squad.
