The thousands waving small American flags ensured Oak Harbor’s Fourth of July celebration kept its patriotic feel.
Families, friends and visitors waved the flags along the sidewalks during the annual parade that wound along Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor.
Employees from RE/MAX Acorn Properties continued their annual tradition near the front of the parade pack. They made sure each spectator had a flag to wave.
While Oak Harbor’s music scene hasn’t suffered from a lack of talent over the decades, there have been few discernible live venues for talent to thrive.

I am a member of the Sirius/XM satellite radio nation, and have been for some time now. My brother was the one to introduce such programming to me years ago when he was a cutting edge listener and I a channel switcher between songs to avoid the commercials. Eventually I purchased a car with the service and I’ve been a devotee ever since.
I particularly like how I can hurry out the door and listen to the same international news feeds I was watching on my TV while getting ready at home. I also like the fact that with one stoke of a preset button I am catapulted back to the 70s, where the sounds of James Taylor, The Rolling Stones, or the Bee Gees take me to a time when I was a teenager and music filled my world. My parents would say it was constant and loud back then. I would say it was essential and expressed the sentiments of my generation.
