If you thought playing rugby in a prom dress would be difficult, try running in a prom dress when the grass is about six inches too long too.

Rob Tomasello – SOU football

Last year I was part of the Southern Oregon University entry in the parade. No one could have imagined at the time that SOU’s football team would end up #5 in the rankings by the end of the season.

If you live in Ashland, or will be in Ashland on the 4th, you better start thinking about where you will watch the parade from and how you will reserve a place. All of the good spots will soon be grabbed up by blankets, tarps, cones, and the like.

I’m in Korea for 4th of July celebrations (or lack thereof) this year. (At least I hope I am. I’m actually pre-blogging this week on Memorial Day back in late May.) So I have put together a week of photos from last year’s 4th of July festivities in Ashland. We’ll start things off with a pic of Tyler Hawkins riding a funky bike in the Ashland 4th of July Parade.
