It was nice to see people get up and dance.. Great atmosphere.”

Jean: “Old Glory never fails to move me. This large flag proudly waves on Main Avenue in view of the Camp Meeting Association flags. It is a beautiful sight to behold.”
From an essay on the flag by William O’Malley of the Heritage Foundation: “The promise of America lives on through those brave heroes who have, over the centuries, fought to fulfill our societal vow that, wherever the American flag flies, there too shall be found life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

From Jean Bredin: “What a treat to have Santa sing a Christmas song. All I had to do was ask!”
Jean keeps the beat by rhythmically shaking her camera. Let’s get her a tripod for Christmas. And click on the video even though it looks cockeyed. It will get straight.—PG
