Liberty Towne Tatler

by Kit Kittredge

The 4th of July Parade on Snickerdoodle Street was festive and full of color! Miss Victory was there dressed in true patriotic style. Horses dressed in red, white and blue marched along the parade route as spectators waved American flags. 

Afterward Madame Mayor gave a wonderful speech at the gazebo in Liberty Park. The days event was catered by Dairy Queen who supplied the residents with plenty of hot dogs, burgers, french fries and any kind of frozen ice cream treat you could imagine. A wonderful time was had by all!

*Liberty Towne Parade!*

Welcome to our 4th of July Celebration!

 

 

WATCH THE PARADE!

After the parade, everyone met at Liberty Park where the Mayor made an announcement.

 "Thank you dear friends of Liberty Towne for coming out to our special gathering today." Madame Mayor began.

"Let me say the Towne looks so festive. I would like to honor a few key residents for their hard work on making today possible. Thank you to Kirsten and Nellie for decorating the gazebo and Liberty Park."

 "I would like to acknowledge Nicki for her hard work in organizing our wonderful parade."

 

"Last, but not least a special thank you to Molly for overseeing this entire event, without her none of this would be possible."  

"Please enjoy your self today. Thank you to Dairy Queen for all of the food. Now let's have more fun!"  

"The line begins here dolls for food." Molly explained.

" Are you sure you can carry all of that on your own?" Samantha asked.

"Yes, my friends are waiting over by the gazebo. Thank you." 

"Your turn Felicity." 

"I think everything was so terrific today." Nellie told Kirsten.

"Yes, I agree."

"Madame Mayor, today was simply wonderful!" Said Kit.

"Oh yes indeed Kit. I think all who were responsible for this event truly outdid them selves."

"I will be sure to report all about it in tomorrow's newspaper."

*Nicki at the Stables*

Molly was very specific when she asked Nicki to help organize the Parade. First thing she did was make a list of participants then assigned them individual duties. She knew she has to get the horses dressed.

She wrapped their front legs and hung patriotic decorations from their necks.

Picasso was very gentle and he didn't mind all the fuss, he missed Saige too.

 

Burt didn't like the sparkle Garland AT ALL! He whinnied and bucked his head then finally calmed once Nicki brushed his coat. 

"Ah I hope we can make it through the Parade without a hitch!" Nicki said.

*Decorating the Gazebo*

Kirsten and Nellie brought a bag of decorations to Liberty Park and began decorating the gazebo.

Kirsten began hanging all of the American flags.

"Are you really going to climb the ladder to the roof?" Nellie asked.

"Yes I have to if I'm going to put the flag at the top."

"Aren't you scared?"

"No, as long as you hold the ladder steady."

"You sure are brave Kirsten!" 

"That's it! I got it!"

"You reached the top already??"

"Yes and it looks great!"

*Molly in Charge of 4th Celebration*

With Molly in charge of the 4th of July celebration, she and Emily place a large catering order at Dairy Queen for the town's party.

 

"I'm not sure if we should order 100 or 150 of everything on the menu." Molly says.

 

"Well I think I want a strawberry sundae right now!" Emily giggled.

 

"Oh look! They have ice cream cakes too! Let's order one for the Mayor with a large American Flag on it!"

"Oh this is going to be the best 4th of July ever!" Molly said excited.
