## Resource

Waterbury, Vermont, kicked off its quirky “Not Quite Independence Day” celebration early this July, turning the town into a patriotic time machine for America’s 250th birthday. Organized by the Rotary Club, the all-day fest featured food trucks, games, a parade, and even a foot race — with the parade itself themed “American Time Machine,” rolling through history from the Revolutionary War to the future. Crowds flocked from across the state, some arriving hours early for prime parade spots, soaking in the energy and nostalgia. Local organizer Dan McKibben said the event was all about honoring America’s journey — past, present, and beyond — proving that tradition, with a fresh twist, still brings communities together.
