We spent July 4th in Breckenridge at the parade and stayed for all the other events. We thought one event was going to be a water balloon "fight" among the kids, well we got that wrong! We certainly didn't know what was coming, so, when kids started to scream when the Fire Department tower truck started to come up the street, we joined the crowd.
