So much more than just a parade
Kerri Thoreson
It’s well-established that I love the Fourth of July. I can’t imagine anywhere else to celebrate the Fourth of July other than Coeur d’Alene. Since we moved here in the mid-'60s, when I was in junior high and living in the historic John T. Wood house on Ninth and Sherman, the Fourth of July has been a very special time in Lake City. Sitting on the front porch of that big old house to watch the parade, taking my younger siblings in the kiddie parade, watching the fireworks from City Beach ... it was idyllic.
As an adult, I’ve accompanied floats, driven grand marshals and only last year passed the announcing microphone to Amy Bartoo after more than a dozen years in the skybox.
