Happy 4th of July

By Darla Youngblood

4th of July is always a fun time for people to celebrate! In all the places I’ve lived in my life the small town I grew up in still has the best 4th of July celebrations! It starts in the morning with a parade of kids, baseball players and of course horses.In the park is lots of games for the kids and the pool for kids and their families to swim in. Around 5pm there’s a free supper in the park usually a barbecue. Then as it gets dark everyone starts going to the football stadium to watch the beautiful fireworks! It’s always a lot of fun and many people who use to live there come back for the celebration so it’s always fun seeing old friends.
Most small towns have big celebrations. So if you know a family member or friend who lives in a small town, make it a new tradition of celebrating the 4th of July with them. You won’t be disappointed!
Have a fun safe 4th of July with your family and friends! Happy Independence Day everyone!
