Independence Day in Cedar Key

Uncle Tommy · Post by **Uncle Tommy** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 9:45 am

Took the lovely miss Daniela up to Cedar Key for the holiday weekend. The local clammers put on a festival all day capped off with fireworks that evening. It's a real small town feel with a golf cart parade, greased pole, and mullet tossing contest. All the men took off their hats when the veterans raised the flag and the local high school girl sang the anthem. I like that.

We sampled the party fare

Met a few locals

Took in a show

Even enjoyed an airplane ride

'Twas a lovely father-daughter weekend I'll remember fondly.

UT -- very nice father/daughter trip to a most excellent place. Gotta love those clams.

I really, really want to get back to Cedar Key and take Linzy and visit my flyfishing friend there. Maybe we can match schedules with our daughters.

Yea that clam festival looked like a good thing, we spent ours in Steinhatchee, they had a great fireworks show too, along with about a million armatures throughout the night. Great pictures.
