Talk about a memory you have of living in a small town.
"On the 4th of July 2012, it was a pretty fun 4th. We went to this camp thing. My whole family went, it was like a mile or 2 miles out of Maxwell. Just got to put up a donation to get in and they feed you all you eat, whether. There's a fireworks show at the end. During the time that you're there, you just go boating, tubing, canoeing, whatever you want pretty much. They got water trampolines and a bunch of stuff. The food is pretty good and they serve hamburgers and hot dogs and just whatever, salads. It's just all day thing. There's a fireworks show but every time we go, it gets canceled because it storms, and this last year it was bad."
