Why is Bellingham a great place to live? Reason #2

Having recently moved to the Columbia Neighborhood, I celebrated the 4th of July at the Columbia Neighborhood 4th of July Picnic.  It was a blast.  Kids and fun galore.  Amber Darland sang the best rendition of the Star Spangled Banner that I have ever heard.  Unfortunately, I did not catch it on video.  I was able to capture some of the fun though.  Celebrations and block parties took place all over Bellingham.  For the past 8 years, I celebrated the 4th of July at the Russel Street Block Party.  I missed my neighbors from the Cornwall Park Neighborhood.  Next year, I will have to attend both celebrations! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWvvZBYcaJQ
