There were the traditional parades out here in the valley but in Duchesne there wasn't any celebrations. They were all saved for the 24th of July when we were awaken at 6:00 AM with a canon that was fired off several times across the valley. For our family however it was a great birthday celebration every year for mom. She was born on July 4, 1916 and we always had her birthday to celebrate. Then it was also a day for work since we always had the farm and usually there was hay to cut, rake , bale or haul on hat day and if it happened to not be ready to do the hay there was always a lawn to mow, garden to weed or irrigation to do.
