I've been psyched all week for the long Fourth of July weekend. While my husband and I like to get a lot of yard work done over Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, this one is just for us to relax on the deck.
Everything you need to know to have a busy or restful weekend is here. Some highlights:
Fireworks! I look forward to 'em all year. Find info on Rockford's (and the parade), Cherry Valley's, Loves Park's, Winnebago's and more.
A race and family walk Saturday morning helps Rockford MELD. The last day to register for the Alan Hutchcroft Memorial 8K or two-mile run or walk is today, or just come out and cheer the runners, including me!
Safety first! The holiday story link above has lots of reminders for keeping kids, pets and food safe.
