The Collins Park Parade is the best neighborhood celebration of the Fourth of July in Topeka. This year marks the 37th year for this event that was begun by four local mothers whose kids were bored. The Moms broke out the pots and pans, kazoos and party hats and had the kids march around the Park. The next year, the Parade was larger, and it just grew from then on. At the time, I was living in the Collins Park neighborhood, so I still retain privileges to return every year to join in the party. My friends Frank, Melissa and Ainsley celebrated in style this year.
