Independence Day, 4h of July

Independence Day in Montana remains a high draw for residents. During an incredibly busy summer season, folks of all stripes come together to celebrate our nation’s freedom while dressed in red, white and blue.

Prairie Populist again attended the Ennis 4th of July parade. Take a look at the celebration in the photos below. Happy Independence Day!
