Some, like Chloe Capps, came prepared.
“We got some chairs, got some umbrellas. We’re good.” Capps said.
Bethany Grant said she wasn’t worried even if it did rain.
“I’m not worried about it, a little rain won’t hurt even if it starts. I’m looking forward to it. I think it’ll be a great day for all activities,” she said.
She was glad to be there to celebrate America.
“I think for me, patriotism, freedom is an everyday thing. Just waking up knowing that I’m in a place that I can pretty much do whatever, go wherever,” Grant said.
