Festivities are still two weeks off at this point, so any changes made to the schedule or event list that are available before press time will be made by the July 3 paper.  In the meantime, here’s what to consider as you plan your holiday.  This year’s theme is “Land that I Love”.  The Grand Marshall, Volunteer of the Year, Honored Pioneer, and Honored Veteran have been selected but not all informed yet, so we will bring you those names and stories next week.
