HAPPY 4TH TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

That's how I feel based on some recent news reports. Thank you for all who have called or written.

Today

Today, July 4, I will be at Claude Moore Park, from 10 to 1 pm. for their festivities which include pony rides for young children. Later today, I will visit Morton Blackwell's Soiree (see below) as is my custom. I will go to the Herndon fireworks at Bready Park (814 Ferndale Avenue) where half the crowd is from Sterling. I will try to say hello to you if I see you.

Official description of today's events:

Looking for something to do before the fireworks start? Celebrate the Fourth of July at Claude Moore Park on Friday, July 4, from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Enjoy an old-fashioned holiday setting in the park's historic area.
