Living the Small Town American Dream Mill City and Detroit explode in a celebration of Freedom!
From watching fireworks while Detroit Lake gently laps at the shore to an all out party at Kimmel Park - with live music and an amazing pyrotechnic display, nothing beats celebrating Independence Day in the North Santiam Canyon. Volunteers from Stayton to Idanha made sure this year would be one to remember! A special thanks to the Mill City Fourth of July Committee, Mill City Fire Department, and Detroit Lake Recreation and Business Association. Here’s a glimpse at this past weekend’s festivities! Pictured clockwise from right: Members of the Santiam Cowgirls Drill Team, local legend Arey Podrabsky sporting a blue ribbon, Mill City Historical Society’s Official Cheerleading Squad, volunteers at the Mill City Fire Dept got more than they signed up for - as the offical buxom babes of the parade! Lookin’ fine!
Can’t get enough photos of all the great local events? Have you checked out TheCanyonWeekly.com yet? We took hundreds of photos this weekend, many more than we can possibly print. Professional and amateur photographers from up and down the Santiam Canyon contribute weekly - and now these photos are available online for our readers! Missed the parade in Mill City? See the video online too! We’re also on Facebook .
As you celebrate - we do too! You may have noticed we distributed on Thursday this week, rather than our typical Wednesday. In order to properly honor this important national holiday - and to spend time with friends, family, and community - we took Monday off too! (Our camera crews kept on clicking however...) Thank you for your understanding and patronage! We remain steadfastly dedicated to serving our canyon communities...Karen, Tim and Michelle
