Show THE OGDEN VALLEY NEWS Page 8 Volume X Issue IV June 1, 2004 Many Activities Planned for the Huntsville 4th of July Liberty Days 4th of July Events Liberty Days will be held Monday July 5th at Liberty Park. Events are scheduled throughout the day for the enjoyment of Liberty residents and their guests – there is literally something for everybody. Planning for this celebration began in January, and committee members are hard at work to make this year’s celebration a huge success. Mike and Laura Rhees, Liberty “old timers”, have been making sure that Liberty days go off without a hitch for many years. In addition there are several new couples on the committee, and all are enthusiastic and dedicated to this annual celebration. The festivities will begin with a fabulous breakfast at 7:30a.m. It is always amazing to see how many people travel to enjoy this breakfast, and everyone raves about the food! At 8:00 a.m. the flag ceremony will take place. Throughout the day there will be games, booths, and food available in the park. One of the delights of the Liberty 4th of July celebration is that there is a charming small town atmosphere. There are many “cowboy” activities, centered around the Liberty arena with horses, sheep and cows. There are unique opportunities to catch a fish, a chicken, (or even a pig!)and be able to keep them. In the evening, there will be dancing, with everyone invited to join in until the skies are dark. As the skies grow dark the incredible fireworks will begin. This is usually the favorite time of the day’s celebration for most people. There is nothing like lying on blankets and watching the sky overhead as the lights flash and the fireworks boom. Committee members are appealing to the community to make firework donations so that this year’s display will really be spectacular. Volunteers are being sought to help with this fun day. There is booth space available, and donations for fireworks will be gladly received. Contact Mike or Stephanie at 7451176 if you have any questions or wish to volunteer. IT’S NOT TOO LATE!
