A day of family, friends and fun.
There is nothing like a small town 4th of July Celebration. Most people come for the parade, gather in Thomson Park, and stay the day, waiting for the fireworks at dusk. It’ll be a day you will remember for a long time.

The Chief Joseph Run begins at the Thompson Park picnic shelter on East 6th St. 8 Milers will start at 6:30 and 2 & 4 milers will start at 7:00. Last year we had 250 runners.
