• We know it's still many months away, but we want to get the community involved NOW in planning activities for the Independence Day Celebration - it's America's Semiquincentennial!! We don't have to use that BIG word... but we DO want a BIG celebration in honor of the America's 250th Birthday. Let's make this the biggest Independence Day celebration ever! The Chamber alone can't make that happen, so we are asking that you think of activities you or your organization can do - just one activity, and let us know your plan - we will coordinate everyone and promote all of the separate activities as one huge celebration at Rooney Park on July 4. A few ideas that others have done in the past: regular parade down main street, walking parade in Rooney Park, pet costume contests. Just a note - these are community activities - NO CHARGING! All of these have been provided free of charge by the organizations that sponsor them. So, if there's something you'd like to do, start planning now. Call or email the Chamber for more info!
