The common man.

Happy 4th of July!   Things are not the same, but here are some photos of great memories.
Mark Heisel, Mike Chartock, Neil Wimberley and Julie Bishop

Joe Heisel - Saw Contest

Travis Kiebert

Grandson Ben was in his first parade.

Cougar Creek Band and Scotchman Peak's Wilderness Trophy. 

The year my sister, Mitzi, was here to play with the band.

Bob Lizotte and Marilyn Chartock, always the flag or banner carriers in front of the float.

The Clark Fork Centennial year.  My mom marched in the parade.  She's wearing the cowgirl hat on the right of the photo.

Jens Heisel and our Mr. Scotchman's - created by Joylynn McChesnie.

The Cougar Creek Band



JP, Collin, Rylee and Jon.

The Cougar Creek Band and the Second Line, maybe 2016?

One of Mike Chartock's great float signs.  2013.

The year there was marriage proposal on the float behind us.



 Band members on the float.  Linda Heisel, Bruce Bishop, Glen Rolofson, Julie Bishop, Kristine Rolofson and yours truly.

We almost always had our own fireworks display unless it was a dry 4th of July season.  My favorite music while watching the fireworks, Fanfare for the Common Man, by Aaron Copland.  It was written as a tribute to those engaged in World War II.




And, of course, this one.  The "dog fight" is at 2:44. The piccolo solo is my favorite part at 3:01.  Then the "fight" returns at 3:27. Enjoy.
