July 4th Parade
Byjill Cross
Pine Knoll Shores had another wonderful
well-attended parade thanks to Kim Reilly.
This year is number 21. While we don’t know
the exact number of people present, a good
estimate is around 300. Whats fun to see are
adults who dress up and join the kids in their
red, white and blue finery on bicycles or sim
ply walking around the neighborhood.
The route was slightly longer this year,
which was enjoyed by all, with music blaring
in front and back of the parade, led by Nick
Berry. A nice crowd gathered on Oakleaf and
a few of the side streets to cheer the red, white
and blues along.
The customary soda, cake and watermel
on were served in abundance after the parade
by Kims happy helpers. Pine Knoll Shores’
fire truck was at the park and entertained the
kids afterwards. They climbed inside, asked
the firemen questions and took hats and col
oring books home.
Another successful parade enjoyed by all.
