Indian Hills is the place to be for families celebrating the Fourth of July in the foothills.
e pancake breakfast in the Indian Hills re house and a 5K fun run/walk begin the day, followed by tours through a HealthOne AirLife helicopter and a re truck. Plus children played on the Arrowhead Park playground.
ose activities were the precursor to the annual parade that is more water ght than parade.
e annual event, which features about ve minutes of classic cars, horses, an Evergreen American Legion honor guard and re trucks with riders handing out candy, is followed by at least 30 minutes of a drenching water ght between Indian Hills re ghters and oats, and the crowd lining Parmalee Gulch Road.
ose who came to the parade carried Super Soaker water guns and other methods to shoot water. ey brought jugs, pails and other containers of water to put on an impressive showing against the parade oats. e trucks and oats, on the other hand, carried many gallons of water to make sure everyone was drenched by the time the parade ended.
