The community of Carnation hosted a full day of Fourth of July fun, with plenty of activities to thrill the senses.
Children and adults jumped, weaved and shot at the first-ever Just Moo It! basketball tournament. Runners competed for sweet rewards in the Run for the Pies, and car buffs showed off their hard work and classic finds in the Hot Rods and Harleys show.
