Making lakeside memories

Posted July 8, 2009
Opportunity Village staff and persons served walked in the big Clear Lake Fourth of July parade.

This year's theme was "Lakeside Memories."  The float featured giant faces wearing sunglasses that pictured scenes from Clear Lake's history.

Although the morning was a bit rainy and cool, thousands of people lined Clear Lake's streets to watch the parade and cheer us on!  Take a look at more photos from the parade.

Clear Lake has one of the biggest Independence Day celebrations in Iowa, a real old-fashioned slice of Americana.  Find out more about Clear Lake.
