What began as a small-town picnic has now become well-known as one of the best places to celebrate America’s birthday. This year, over 25,000 people are anticipated to join in the town’s festivities! The 4th of July Committee has been working tirelessly throughout the year to plan a fun-filled day for the entire family.
