Many Thanks to Alpharetta Fire Station #84


To me the Fourth of July is the best birthday party ever because it begins with parades and ends with fireworks.  Happy Birthday United States of America!    I have been going to parades and fireworks since I was a child in Pennsylvania.   For the past 21 years, our neighborhood has had a bike parade where the kids (and adults) decorate their bikes, scooters, wagons, pets and more.  Everyone walks or rides from one cul de sac down to the last cul de sac for frozen treats.   The first year we did not have a fire truck.   We've discovered over the years that the fire truck really adds a cool exciting presence to our parade. 

I want to thank Alpharetta Fire Station #84 especially Fire Apparatus Engineer Shawn Webster, Firefighter Shane Hall, and Firefighter Tim Hixson for leading our parade.   Also, I'd like to thank them for the wonderful service they provide our Alpharetta community.   The firefighters always give the kids a chance to check out the fire truck and talk to the firefighters both before and after the parade.   Just a spectacular morning of fun!
