A Bristol 4th

The town of Bristol, Vermont is the quintessential New England town. Think Norman Rockwell.  I don't think the look of the town has changed one iota since 1950-something. Tomorrow is the 4th of July Outhouse race followed by a parade.
Bristol has a town green with a bandstand. On Wednesday nights during the summer the Bristol Band plays a free concert. They have been doing this continually for 140 years.  If it is raining (and it rained 23 out of 30 days this June) people park around the outside of the town green and honk their horns as applause.
