We stayed at the Deltan Inn ( my grandpa used to own and now my uncle runs)
The next morning we got up and got ready for the parade. The kids have so much fun filling their sacks full of candy. After the parade they had rides at the park. Brookie loved the horses and her dad was a good sport to get on one with her :-)
Later that day we went and saw the Topaz internment camp. This was really interesting to see. I guess a year after the attack on Pear Harbor, the government rounded up Japanese- Americans on the west coast and put them in internment camps. Most of them were innocent and were just locked up for their race and color of their skin. What a sad part of history that I didn't know about.
That night we saw fireworks and enjoyed each others company. It was fun to go back to Delta, a place I loved going as a kid!

I read a book about an internment camp, and it is so sad to think that was only 60-ish years ago that we did something like that. Nice that they have a place commemorating it.
