This is one of the big holiday weekends in the United States. Fourth of July is our independence day and this year I'll be covering the event as a reporter in a small Texas town. When you've lived in the massive urban sprawl that is Los Angeles for as long as I have, it's like culture shock to experience the closeness of a village of 2,700. Wimberley is a place where you can't cross the street with out seeing somebody you know. That can be a good and a bad thing! Sometimes I feel like I'm backstage at Disneyland again. This is the Americana Hollywood tells stories about but it's better because it's real.
A parade starts the day on Monday at about 10 am. Ranch to Market Road 2325 (one of the main roads that lead into the village of Wimberley) will be shut down for the event. They'll march to the town square and then everyone is invited to a jubilee on the green next to Cypress Creek. I'll be there with camera and notebook in hand.
