4th of juky Fourth of July Celebration Plan

You community's bicentennial is this year. The town council has decided to have a big July 4th celebration this year as part of the bicentennial events. You are part of a group of citizens who are planning the July 4th celebration.

There are multiple goals for the event. One goal is to add a civics lesson to the event. Another goal is to include something about the history of your community or region. The state's travel promotion agency has suggested including a focus on local natural resources that people can enjoy. Finally, reach out to each age group - kids, teens, adults. Finances are often a challenge. Opt for low cost events that call for participation.
