Whitson Elementary Principal Todd McCauley leads a group of students  at the White Salmon-Bingen July 4 parade. Similar parades were held in Hood River and The Dalles; see page B9 for additional photos. Other highlights included a kids fair in The Dalles and the annual fun runs in The Dalles and Hood River. While personal fireworks were banned in much of the Gorge, residents were able to enjoy professional shows in Hood River, The Dalles, and Cascade Locks at dusk.
