The Fourth of July Committee needs you; T-shirt design entries due Feb. 15
The Fourth of July fireworks, parade, and field events are brought to the town by the hard work of fellow friends and neighbors. Fruitlands has again graciously donated its grounds for the fireworks on Wednesday, July 3. The parade and field events will take place on the 4th of July. There are plenty of opportunities, large and small, to help out.

Float Makers
The parade theme this year is “Old-Fashioned 4th of July.” It’s not too early to get started.

Include your name and telephone number on the back of the picture.
Community support
Residents can support the celebration by volunteering, donating, and by buying tee shirts, which will be available at the Annual Town Meeting. Wearing one of the T-shirts to the fireworks display will get the wearer a $10 parking discount.
