Let the Celebrations Begin!
Summer is officially full on! June is quickly becoming a memory (it’s been two whole days now) and it’s time to turn focus to July. July is a special month for us as a nation for in this month we celebrate one of the most significant events in our short history. My birthday!
Some like to think that the parades and fireworks displays, backyard barbecues, cookouts and community gatherings centered around the July 4th weekend are in celebration of our nation’s independence. Whatever helps you sleep at night, friends. That stuff is for me!
Actually, it’s not. My special day isn’t until the 10th. Fact is, see more »

On July 4th they open at 10am and the band, Land Sharks, starts at 8pm. Flag t-shirts are on sale now for $10. The pier is accessible by foot, bicycle, car, or boat.

A very patriotic ice skater
North Idaho’s Silverwood Theme Park, located on Hwy 95 between Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint, is the Pacific Northwest’s largest amusement park. Each 4th of July, they feature a fireworks extravaganza to light up the sky. That’s after a day of train rides, rollercoasters, water slides, and a very colorful ice show featuring a cast of champion caliber skaters.

This upward-view photo of the Statue of Liberty was taken from below the pedastal on twelve-acre Liberty Island. Ferries to Liberty Island and nearby Ellis Island are available from Lower Manhattan and New Jersey on Statue Cruises. Both islands include visitor centers, tours and exhibits, and gift and concession shops. On July 4, 2009, Lady Liberty’s crown will open to the public for the first time since September 11, 2001.
