The weather was perfect and Independence day made this a long weekend for Galt.  Take a look at some of the exhibits of commercial vendors and charities that supported this great event.

Andi (10) is really enjoying playing with the small kitten at the petting zoo.  What a big beautiful smile.  The zoo was put on by Herald Boy Scout troop 28.
