We started the day by going to the Clinton Library which had free admission today. They have a special Elvis exhibit right now that is pictures of him taken by a photographer who followed him around for about 6 months. During this time he recorded "Hound Dog", "Don't Be Cruel" and appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. It was mostly candid pictures and really good. The usual admission is only $5 for seniors but it was the idea.... 8-) Then this afternoon we went next door to the Arizona Historical Museum for an open house type thing celebrating their 70th year. Kinda scary to think it is 4 years older than we are! The oldest house in Little Rock is on their grounds and dates back to the early 1800's. After a "militia" marching on the grounds, they had a reading of the Declaration of Independence. Then tonight, we walked down to the Riverfront for dinner and a concert. The group in this pic is a Dixieland Band. After them was the Symphony Pops Concert. Then at 9:30 is firewalks. They shoot them off a bridge that we have a perfect view of so it should be interesting. We had to get home before the fireworks since the "kid" doesn't like fireworks, thunder, etc. Different kind of 4th for us - usually we just stay home and do nothing.
