Enjoying the country’s independence — in grand style

July 10, 2019 By Christine Holtzman

Residents in The Laker/Lutz News coverage area had plenty of options for celebrating the nation’s birthday this year. They could watch colorful fireworks displays, go for a run, or join in myriad community celebrations. This is a look of festivities held in Lutz, including the Fourth of July parade — a tradition that’s still going strong after three-quarters of a century.

 

Grandmother Donnette Mintzer, of Land O’ Lakes, watches the parade pass by with her 7-year-old granddaughter, Savannah Vining, right, and her 9-month-old grandson Colton Caudell, who proudly held an American flag. (Christine Holtzman)
Thirteen-year-old Kate Frederick, of Wesley Chapel, left, and her 11-year-old sister, Ava, sit on the back of a golf cart decked out with streamers and a message of Lutz pride. The girls are members of the GFWC Little Women of Lutz.
David Bellingar, of Lutz, relaxes in his lawn chair along a shaded portion of the parade route. He won his Lutz-themed hat many years ago, during a Lutz Guv’na fundraiser held by the GFWC Lutz-Land O’ Lakes Woman’s Club.
