Make Your Fourth A Blast
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: 2018/06 - June
Small towns and the Fourth of July – nothing is more Americana, and no one does it like Highlands. Streets and shops are decked out in red, white, and blue and everyone goes all out to make
the day fun for family, friends, and neighbors to enjoy.
Families will want to plan on spending their morning at the Town of Highlands Ball Field. Town of Highlands Fourth of July family games begin at 11:00 A.M. You and your children will enjoy these traditional games and will be laughing throughout as you try to best your neighbors.
All that activity is sure to work up an appetite, so head on over to Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park at 11:00 A.M. for the Rotary Club’s annual Barbecue. Each year they bring out the club’s culinary guns to satisfy your need for a good old-fashioned July 4th cookout.
After lunch, take a few minutes to stroll Main Street, enjoy the patriotic store fronts, perhaps enjoy dessert, and then make your way to Mill Creek for the Rubber Duck Derby. Purchase a rubber duck and cheer it on to victory for a chance at fabulous prizes and bragging rights.
Evening is really set to sparkle and shine. Silly Ridge Roundup will entertain at the Kelsey Hutchinson Founder’s Park from 6:00 – 8:00 P.M. The annual Patriotic Sing with the Men’s Chorus begins at 8:00 P.M. at First Presbyterian Church of Highlands and ends just in time for you to make your way to find the perfect spot to view the annual fireworks display. This dazzling display
takes place at around 9:00 P.M. and isn’t to be missed.
