surely love the extra attention on this hot and exciting day so
get creative! Ribbons will be awarded in several categories.

What better way is there to celebrate the Fourth of July than with

endless swimming, and free use of tennis courts. Please call

 FIREWORKS
SPECTACULAR
Reserve your tickets now for the annual Fourth of July
Fireworks Spectacular because this is the day's most popular

play live music from the 1960s-the present. There will be a
"Kid Zone" with crafts, games, Uncle Sam, bubbles & more!
The fireworks display will begin at 9 p.m., but get there early
because doors open at 5 p.m. Picnic items are welcome, but
