My mom, sister, and I started the day of in George by walking in the Cherry Bomb race. Then we watched my dad drive his jeep through the parade. Ask anyone in our family and we will tell you our jeep was the cutest thing because of its red color and American flags!
Once the parade was finished, my dad entered the jeep into a car show at the park. Sadly, it didn't win any prizes but people sure enjoyed looking at it! At noon, some long-time George community members served cherry pie to all attendants at the park celebrating. It's pretty good, and it's pretty cool to see such a huge pie being served! They pre-made some pieces a couple days in advance, but most assembling of the pie happens the morning of the Fourth. It is a huge and tasty pie! The town of George sure does a great job upholding the fact that is known as the town with the largest cherry pie!
When the car show was finished, my parents headed on home while I met up with boyfriend and friends from the area for the evening. We enjoyed sitting in the backyard talking and laughing. When it got dark we headed out to a clear field near the fireworks to watch them. They were pretty darn good for a small town, in fact, most everything that went on in George to celebrate was pretty darn good for a small town!!
