The Tomkins family has lived in Arcadia for several generations. Kevin Tomkins says that for the past four years the family has hosted a Fourth of July celebration for family and friends that includes their very own parade! More than 100 people attended this year (the pool was a little crowded, says Kevin, who submitted a photo below for evidence)and he reports that the Parade took on a life of it’s own with banners, the Arcadia Fire Department, and even a Grand Marshal. Topping it off, one of Kevin’s college friends showed up early and built a float! Get a glimpse of the fun and modern family tradition in these photos (Kevin is playing the part of Uncle Sam):
