For years, whenever our beloved Arizona Mountain Camp was held on Organization Ridge near Summerhaven, our campers would dress up and march in the parade, often belting out a song and dancing in the street as part of the festivities.
This year, with all the restrictions from CoViD-19, the Mt Lemmon Home Owners Association invited many people to create their own video celebration and submit it for inclusion in a virtual parade. They launched this effort before the fire started.
Tune in Saturday at noon!
The Mount Lemmon 2020 Virtual Independence Day Parade will automatically premiere on YouTube at noon on Saturday, July 4th -- when the "in person" parade would have normally started. View it by clicking on the button below or copy and paste this URL into your browser:

With fond memories of parades in the past, and best wishes for a happy, safe, and enjoyable celebration this weekend,
