Celebrating The 4 Julian Style th
by Ed Glass "This is what it's all about, this is how every town should do a parade. I loved the horses, the cars, the bands, the tractors, the dancers, everything!" On the day after our annual parade, my wife and I were taking a walk through our Whispering Pines neighborhood when a neighbor drove past and stopped to talk awhile. The quote in the first paragraph is from her former co-worker, who had lived in San Diego for over 30 years. Coming back to visit, she joined my neighbors to enjoy the parade. "Have you ever been to Julian?" I asked. "No, and now that I live in Oklahoma, I'm sorry I didn't visit sooner. You have such an authentic town, everyone was so friendly, it was just a wonderful experience." I personally heard similar feedback during the parade itself, as I roamed back and forth the length of the parade route. Friends who live in Julian stopped me to say hello and thanks, and visitors did the same. The best ever? Wait till next year. The Julian 4th of July Parade Committee, headed by Mike Menghini, thanks the community for its support, and looks forward to next year every year.
