This year the Oklahoma Convoy will be attending the Bethany, OK July 4th Freedom Festival. I have signed up for 6-7 trucks so let me know who can attend. As a big bonus, candy can be thrown along the parade route.

This parade is along historic Route 66

Just received word that we entry #11, so we will be at the beginning of the parade.

Line up entry is at NW 42 and Rockwell. I'm waiting to hear the time to start lining up.

Thinking about meeting at Wiley Post Airport and convoying the half mile to line up. More details to follow.

Wow Danny that is horrible, My prayers go out to that family and to those involved. I'll be posting pictures later on once I have a chance to sift threw them. Merlot you should have come out you would have been more then welcome. Not to many places in OKC to shoot your own fireworks legally that I know of but there are some cool fireworks shows downtown. You know maybe we should pick a place to go after the parades and have a "camp out BBQ" kinda thing? It would be fun and if we got the right kinda place we could shoot off fireworks and the kids can swim.....idk food for thought...
