Mendocino Village 4th of July Parade, 2009

OK, our small town 4th of July parade is a little bit hokey. But it's quirky and quaint, too. It features fire engines, dogs, yaks, cute kids, bands, and a variety of political marchers-- such as banana slugs for peace and a whole bunch of folks supporting single payer health care.

Too bad Mendo has to use a day of celebration for a soapbox to promote a political agenda(either side). Aren't all of the bumperstickers plastered on your Subaru's, enough to get your point across? It's ashamed such a beautiful town has been ruined by Dope Growers/Smokers. When I was a kid the town was almost heaven until the hitch hikers passing thru on their way to the Monterrey Pop Festival decided to come back to the area and stay.

"It's ashamed such a beautiful town has been ruined by Dope Growers/Smokers."

News flash: without the cannabis economy, Mendocino and the rest of northwest California would be an economic basket case. We've cut down 98% of the trees, and ruined the fisheries. There's not much else here upon which to base an economy. We can't all get jobs as $8/hr motel maids.
