Because the Fourth of July is a holiday that celebrates our American heritage, we look for old-fashioned, time-honored ways to mark it. Family fun, parades, flag waving, and fireworks are what we expect.
Corn on the cob, meat on the grill, rhubarb and apple pie topped off by a game of horseshoes, or sack races, or even a nap - what a way to celebrate our freedom.
For more people, fireworks is a part the celebration: "The rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air."
This year, the city of Marinette will hold a Heritage Logging Festival on July 14-15 instead of on July 4. There will be fireworks, but they will be 10 days after the Fourth of July.
Because the chamber has received so many calls from people looking for fireworks, we've assembled a list of other community festivals and events, and we've published that list on our Web site.
Please join us Tuesday evening, July 3, on beautiful Stephenson Island as we kick off the mid-week holiday with a 7 p.m. concert, sponsored by the Marinette Menominee Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation.
