Golden K Celebrates Independence Day at the Milton 4th of July Parade

Golden K's Independence Day tradition is a float in the Milton Parade. 

Dave Kemp, Glenn Disrude, Dave Figi, Steve Johnson, Tom Neumann and other members decorated the truck, placed it on artificial snow, and "floated" it down the parade route. 

The weather was great. It is supposed to be hot on the 4th of July!

 















Thanks to all who helped.
