Easing back into things...

We're easing back into tradition this year, bringing back some of your favorite 4th of July activities, including the parade (note time change for Sunday event and register below), vendors in the park (limited), as well as live music at the bandshell and a fireworks finale!

Thanks to your donations, we've successfully raised our goal for the fireworks display and look forward to another great show!
