Thousand attend Troy Fourth celebration

<p>U.S. Highway 2 in Troy was lined with thousands of parade-goers Thursday as the weather cooperated, and the multitudes got to enjoy America’s 237th birthday party. The festive day was not without a note of solemnity as local firefighters commemorated all firefighters who had given their lives in the line of duty. However, this Fourth was especially painful with the death of 19 elite firefighters earlier this week. On this float, firefighters commemorated the fallen, and particularly this year with the Arizona state flag. </p><div><strong> </strong&…

Fourth Snow White 2

<p>A 1941 Lincoln Continental entered by owner Tom Broderick from Bonners Ferry, Idaho, was one of the several dozen cars on display on Thursday at Roosevelt Park. Broderick provided that only 400 Continentals were produced in 1941, when the vehicle originally cost $2,916.</p><div> </div>

<p>Kit Branch is decked out in red, white and blue and so is her steed, Bugsy. Branch is a member of the Back-Country Horsemen, which took part in the parade.</p>

<p>It was great to see a logging presence in the parade, and it drew applause from parade-goers. This truck is owned by Anderson Logging, Co.</p>

<p>Trojan Lanes had a truck decked out in red, white and blue as well as Old Glory. </p>
