The summer solstice occurs this June 21st. It is here so fast amidst all of this rain and cold. Seems like we could never get rid of the winter and now the cold wet spring will not go away.
The bright spot is the 4th of July is on its way. The carnival, parade, fireworks. Let’s get to planning. The best place to start is the Fourth of July committee’s web site. It has many of the activities lined out along with times and places. I have already invited friends and we have staked out our spot on the lawn and decided which day to take the kids to the carnival.
This committee does an outstanding job every year and deserves many Thank You for all of their hard work. Many of our surrounding communities have cancelled their festivals but our friends and neighbors have found a way to keep ours alive.
This is the schedule from the committee below.
