Independence Day!

How are you going to celebrate Independence Day? On Monday, July 4th, you can swing by Provo’s Grand Parade in the morning, then the Provo Towne Centre’s Car Show in the afternoon. In 1777 Americans celebrated with speeches, toasts, 13-gun salutes, parades, and fireworks. In 1778, General George Washington gave his soldiers a double ration of rum. However you choose to celebrate, have a great time!

Let Freedom Ring!



Thought of the Week –

“It ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other…” – John Adams’ thoughts on Independence Day in a letter to his wife, Abigail.

We encourage you to have a safe and spectacular Fourth of July!
