It’s been said that 
a picture is worth a 
thousand words, so 
we have decided to 
let the pages of this 
edition describe the 
July 4th festivities 
as celebrated in the 
City of Sierra Madre.

 Sierra Madre residents 
and visitors 
lined the streets from 
Mariposa and Sunnyside, 
up Sunnyside 
to Sierra Madre 
Blvd., and down 
the boulevard to Sierra 
Vista Park on 
Wednesday, watching 
more than 60 
entries make their 
way to the end of the 
route. Participants 
included the young 
and the old, including 
Mama Pete who 
is soon to celebrate 
96 years of good 
living. The parade 
ended with a community 
picnic at the 
park. Right, VFW 
3208’s Honor Guard 
set the pace. Photo
