ENDLETON — Celebrat-
ing Independence Day is a
favorite holiday spent with
family and friends, gathered around
a barbecue with fireworks to end the
day.
Another favorite pastime for
the Fourth of July is parades. That
holds true here in Pendleton, where
the city’s Fourth of July parade
was back as red, white and blue
abounded throughout the city’s
downtown corridor. The parade
started at Pendleton City Hall, trav-
eled east on Dorion Avenue to Main
Street, then west on Court Avenue
to the Pendleton Convention Center.
The annual parade is hosted
by the VFW “Let ’er Buck”
Post 922.
