Pawhuska, Oklahoma might be considered small town, USA, but it sure knows how to show up big for the 4th of July—especially when the Drummond family is hosting the party!
During their annual 4th of July bash this year, the Drummond's set up another blowout celebration that was bigger than ever with grilled foods, carnival games, music, and dancing. And, of course, the party went from day to night with the grand finale being Ladd's fireworks display: "Executed by cowboys who have SERIOUS issues 🤠," Ree joked on social media, "Not kidding, it's a 40-minute finale and it's not normal. 💥"
The summer party is a holiday tradition that first stared when the Drummond kids were babies. But now that they're all grown up (Alex is even having a baby of her own!), the celebration has become a chance for the town to get together with the help of The Mercantile—all decked out in red, white, and blue!
"It was a sweet, sweet day (and night!) in Pawhuska 🇺🇸❤️," Ree said on Instagram, "I had more and more fun as the night progressed, unfortunately, and Elaine Benes did eventually show up. 💃 Hope you all had a happy Fourth! 😊"
The Seinfeld reference about Ree's dance moves just proves how much fun was had by all. Even Alex and Paige showed up in stars and stripes.
"Happy 4th from the greatest place on earth! God bless Pawhuska, America ❤️🤍💙," Paige wrote on Instagram.
The montage of photos revealed Paige and her friends enjoying every part of the 4th of July event, including music from The Dry Water Band, who also played at Alex's wedding!
Speaking of Alex and Mauricio, the expecting couple showed up in Pawhuska with their pup, George wearing the cutest red bandana.
"God bless Pawhuska, USA!! 🇺🇸❤️🐶👶🎆," she wrote on Instagram.
From the looks of it, this 4th of July party is getting bigger and better every year. Here's to more small town Independence Day fun next year!
