Independence

The Fourth of July in Independence is not to be missed!

E_Independence_KeeponTrucking15_Artwork

The theme of this year’s Fourth of July Celebration, “Keep on Trucking”, ties in with our Fourth of July Grand Marshals, John and Philip Baxter.  The Baxter Family has been a part of the history of Independence and the Owens Valley since the late 1800’s.  The Baxter name is even on one of the Sierra’s rugged mountain passes – Baxter Pass.

John Baxter’s iconic 1968 Chevy Flatbed truck is pictured on this year’s one-of-a-kind t-shirts.  Many of us have enjoyed Baxter Honey throughout the years, and if you look closely at the t-shirts, you will see the bee hives stacked in the back of the truck.
