Bring your lawn chairs, spread out a blanket and lay back for when the cymbals clash, the drums roar and the flag is presented, you will want to be sure to be there for this kick-off to the national independence celebration of our nation’s Independence Day.

We also ask for you to stop by this booth and take a minute to provide us with your feedback on this community event.
