The fourth was with us

Nick Wright places an American flag above a giant basket of petunias on Avenue C Monday in preparation for the July Fourth holiday, as he and other city workers made their way through the West End and downtown getting the city dressed up in red, white and blue. The back of the city truck had a barrel of flags. The Pine Knot News went to press before the grand birthday celebration. Don't worry - check out next week's Pine Knot News for photos and words about Cloquet's grandest annual celebration.
