Todd White stands ready to give the signal to start a tug-of-war pull at Sunday afternoon's Fourth of July Junior Olympics.
Maybe it's special powers from the red, white and blue stockings that propelled this runner across the finish line in Sunday's 50-yard dash.
The Fourth of July is a fun time for all ages in Wrangell, even for those still learning how to walk. Sunday's festivities included toddler games on the City Hall lawn.
Candy was thrown around the lawn for the kids to race to pick up, seeing who could get the most.
