Stanberry, MO Independence Day
Sirens will blare and hats will cover hearts. Kids will grab candy off the street and dogs will barf Tootsie rolls on the sidewalk. This is why we got divorced from England. Happy 4th of July from Stanberry, Missouri.
The mules and I were there to soak up the action. And catch a Blow Pop and 3 Tootsie rolls. Here are some photos of the day.
I wish you and your family a wonderful independence day wherever you are. Tomorrow, given decent weather, the mules and I head toward Conception, Missouri.
You camped at my landlords last night. If you’re heading west through Nebraska and end up going through Seward or Staplehurst, I have some family with land and a pond up there I can give you some names if you can email me. Safe travels!
Howdy Paige. Thanks for the offer of the Staplehurst contacts! I’m not quite sure which way I’m heading but I’ll be sure to give you a heads up if it includes Staplehurst. Say high to Sam for me. Next time you see him, tell him I sure enjoyed visiting with him in the pasture this morning before I headed out. Bernie
We were glad to have you, Brick and Cracker stop in Stanberry. Happy trails and safe travels.
A wonderful stop. So good I had to spend an extra day in town! Thanks again for all.

Love this parade write-up!! I do have to ask – what is a home grown sausage? Is it true sausages grow on trees, as I have heard from a trusted source? If you don’t water the sausage trees enough during the Spring, do you get Slim Jims?
Let me know if you find out, OK?
Happy trails,

Actually, these are all the kids’ 4-H pigs they raised at home from wee piglets in to sausage sized porkers. Okay, that’s not true at all. I saw them being grilled out back – 15 pounds boxes of sausages headed toward the grill. They were delicious. I asked no questions. I do like the Slim Jim visual!
So glad you stopped by Stanberry to enjoy the festivities!! Happy travels!
