One thing we like about Fernandina Beach is the small town atmosphere that includes parades on a fairly frequent basis with local participants.  It had to be difficult getting people to join a parade on this holiday, but some how they made it happen.  We always enjoy sitting on the Williams House proches for a front row view of the events.

It’s always a good thing on these special holidays to remember how dearly our freedom has been paid for from the early days of America’s revolution to the fighting today to be free of terrorists.  We are always grateful for the sacrifices so many have paid for the continuation of this amazing country and its unique position in the world.

What better way to have fun as a family than to come downtown on a holiday and watch a parade especially when it has a pirates ship with real cannon (although only 2 feet long).
