Shelton and Gibbon residents celebrate Independence Day
Residents of Shelton and Gibbon refused to let the July 4 Independence Day holiday spirit go without expressions of celebration and although official parades could not be held due to COVID-19 Directed Health Measure regulations that would not allow parades, residents of both towns organized unofficial “parades,” or a “Freedom Cruise,” in Gibbon’s case on Saturday. Gibbonnites organized a motor parade with an assortment of motorcycles and vehicles of all styles and ages. Sheltonnites started the day with the annual Shelton Stampede road run and ended with the fireworks show at the school football field. Members of the Shelton American Legion Post 297 also marched the streets of town showing the colors and their patriotism. The Clipper will publish a special picture section next week with scenes of the parades, fun run, family celebrations, and more. (—photos by Dennis Walker and Lynn McBride)
