Happy 4th of July...small town style.

Dutch John, Utah is not a big town. The biggest claim to fame is housing workers building Flaming Gorge Dam and now a tourist hot spot for the outdoor enthusiast. During the 4th of July, they put on quite the party. A breakfast at the local ward house in the morning, car show at the lodge with petting zoo, food and drink, and fireworks at the local park at night. Years ago the fireworks were shot off the dam, but traffic was a problem.  My parents and Steve and I had fun snacking and watching the small town put on a show. Unfortunately, there were some real losers setting off fireworks behind us...one wayward firework nearly hit us. Some people just haven't grown up; or they don't understand safety.

Preparing, never seen so many cars in Dutch John before.
