The 4th of July Celebration

The major event which the Lions Club sponsors is our annual 4th of July celebration. In 2007 we celebrated our 72nd annual 4th of July event. The celebration starts with a parade and moves on to Lions Park which is right next to the community center. At Lions Park we have games, entertainment, and races for young and old! There is also a big midway, a refreshment stand, pasties, crafts people, a large raffle, and much more!
The day ends with a huge fireworks display. It was spectacular last year according to those who watched it! There is free parking, restrooms, shade trees, benches, and friendly people. Bring the whole family and spend the day with us to celebrate the birth of our great country!
