Colony Days in Full Swing! June 12th, 2010
This morning I wandered down in front of the Downtown Palmer Plaza to watch the annual Colony Day’s Parade. This was one of the longest parades Palmer has ever seen! Being an election year, there were numerous political floats but also several dedicated to the 75th Anniversary of Palmer’s original colonists.
There are still tons of events going on around Palmer between now and Sunday evening. Go down to the Friday Fling area for an open air market all Saturday and Sunday, check out local businesses for great sales or check out the specific events for the whole family! For a full list, click here.
Below are just a few photos taken this morning.
