Skies were clear, music was playing, food and drinks were plentiful and the fish were biting Saturday at 4th on Broadway in Lubbock.
Following Saturday morning's Sonic Parade along Broadway into Mackenzie Park, thousands from around Lubbock flocked to the park for a day of festivities celebrating Independence Day.
Among activities and attractions through the day were the Covenant Children's Youth Fishing Tournament Hosted By Cabela's. See Monday's Avalanche-Journal for more results from Saturday's evening eating contests sponsored by River Smith's.
