Welcome to the new version of PocketArea.com

I have started moving this site over to new software. During the transition period some of the pages from the old site will also be used. The photo at right is from the start of the Pocket 4th of July Parade on July 3rd. I’ll post more parade photos once I have more of the new site completed. Use the links at the upper right for accessing prior pages including the photo gallery as well as the new forums which should be open quite soon.
