Heritage Festival Report

Thanks to G from http://dandelionsinmygarden.blogspot.com/ for sending in this report from the Heritage Festival and all of the events around town July 4th 2008 (see more text over at her own blog):

Here's a few pictures from the Fredericksburg festivities. We didn't have
a great vantage point for the raft race (Chatham Bridge, but the wrong side I
came to find out - downstream) but it was certainly a lot of fun! The
crowd was good and cheered for every raft that made its way under the
bridge. The trolleys to Ferry Farm kept coming over the bridge ringing
their bells and it made for a festive morning. The street fair was very
crowded and quite hot - the misting tent was extremely popular for kids, adults,
and dogs alike. The bands were great and the tents all had good
crowds. We were a little scared that the rain would make them cancel the
fireworks that night, but the storm blew over and the fireworks were pretty
impressive.
