On behalf of the Haines Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank all of the Ripinsky and Riley level sponsors (Alaska Arts Confluence, Alaska Marine Lines, Aspen Suites Hotel, Constantine Mining LLC, Haines Real Estate, Lynn Canal Corporation, Mountain Market & Café), volunteers, parade participants, and the Fourth of July Planning Committee – Jan Hill, Diana Lapham, Carolann Wooton, Lee Heinmiller, Annette Smith, Kari Johnson, Roger Gentry, Laura Clement, and Wendell Harren – for all of your hard work to make this year’s 4th of July Parade and Celebration a major success! Thank you so much to everyone who donated for fireworks – Miles Furniture, Lutak Lumber, SE Roadbuilders, and anyone who helped fill up the donation cans around town – we will use these funds for another display when it is much darker and colder outside. Thank you, Haines, for going with us “Back to Our Roots with an Olde Fashioned Fourth.”
