28. Oregon Coast Fourth of July Spectacular!

Jordan and Katie Season 2 Episode 5

It's Independence... Week? Katie and Jordan discuss iconic Fourth of July events and memories across Tillamook County in Manzanita, Rockaway Beach, Oceanside, and Pacific City. 

When Jordan was, like, three, a stray bottle rocket attacked him, but he was protected by his San Francisco 49ers sweater and the spirit of Joe Montana.

Katie's first time watching fireworks on the beach resulted in a sulfurous fog that obscured the rest of the show. 

After nearly twenty years, the duo finally watched the quirky and surprisingly well-emceed Firecracker Wiener Nationals in Rockaway Beach, a series of races amongst dachshunds and a huge Fourth of July event in the beachside village!
