2008 Rainier Days in the Park

I never posted most of these pictures on my old website, but I am including them now for completion.

I took these pictures at Rainier Days in the Park at Riverfront Park in Rainier, Oregon on July 12, 2008.

Fireworks Show at Rainier Days in the Park

I tried to take pictures of the fireworks show, mainly to see of my digital camera could photograph fireworks.

Maybe if I’d used a tripod, they would have come out OK.

American Flag at Rainier Days in the Park

A large American flag was being flown from the aerial ladder of a fire truck and was lit by a spotlight.

The flag was there all day, but I thought it was a more striking sight at night.

This video shows the 2-wheeled car in the parade earlier in the day, the carnival lights, the American flag, and some of the fireworks show. The fireworks came out better on video.
