Where else does the fire department show up, hook up the hoses and take aim. First it's a bit of a game with the kids trying to cool down (I went out for a chance to cool off). Jack-Jack got hit by some over spray and was not pleased. Then it gets "serious" with those who are trying to pick up money thrown in the street. Kind of like an Easter Egg Hunt - different age groups each had a turn from 0-3, on up to adult. I guess the similarity ends there - there's money instead of candy, and a good soaking for the effort. Chaelomen received something like $11 for his efforts and quite a soaking.
I saw all the action from the front of a bake sale waiting for the fry bread to be cooked for our Navajo Tacos. They were planning on selling only 100 Tacos; we had to wait about 2 hours a the front of the line while more dough was made.
The day ended with a fireworks show in the main town park. This year, the hill outside of town was not set on fire.
A good time was had (mostly) by all.
