I love the Fourth of July, don’t you? Summer weather is finally here and the choices for a festive fourth are many. How do you celebrate Independence Day? Here on the shorelines of America’s Home Town, many people gather along Main Street to watch the annual parade. I confess, we’ve only done it once in our ten years here but it’s not because we aren’t celebrating our hard earned freedom elsewhere. We’ll be at the beach taking part in our own tried and true tradition’s. Come with me for a Festive FOURTH New England style!

This is one of the hardest Holidays for me – just remembering what all it cost and still does cost us to be FREE – I thank God for it and then I also thank Him for the rest of the celebration – it is my sons birthday – oh what a pleasure to have 2 most important reasons to CELEBRATE – I live in a huge military town – so we have PRIDE to enjoy. Thanks for your celebrating fun – ahhhh Penn. and the beach.
Here in Minnesota,I love to attend the hometown parades in little towns. We go to one every year and also watch some very spectacular fire works. I also decorate inside my house for the Holiday. I too, thank the men and women who serve our country. Just like farmgirls, they "Git ‘er done". A very big thanks! Bonnie
Here in the "thumb", of Michigan, we like to go to Bay City, its a city on the river and love to watch them shoot the fireworks over the river, its huge, they do it all weekend, carnival and concerts. Or we go to Cass City and watch the parade and the little festival they have and watch the fireworks there.
Happy 4th to you and your family!
I love the 4th. It was Dale’s and my anniversary. Though with kids, we would celebrate the 4th with them, then take off for a get away. We would celebrate the day with friends with an old fashion picnic/bbq on their farm. Games for the kids, turkey shoot, homemade ice cream, and fireworks at night. A great time. To far away to join them now, so time to start a new tradition.
Hi Deb, here I am in Rogue River, Or. getting ready for our towns annual Rooster Crow weekend. Parade starts at 10, and then off to the celebration. Vendors and food. We do have a rooster crowing contest, rooster’s and people, LOL.
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog.
Have a great day.
My church, which is in a different town, has a free ice cream social for participants and fans of the kids bicycle parade in the morning. They have been doing this for more than 20 years. The town I live in has a monster parade on Main Street in the afternoon, and a cool fire works show over the lake in the evening.
I unfortunately have limited energy, and have never once been able to do it all.
I just the 4th of July holiday, it is my most favorite!!! I think we are going to have some decent weather here on the west coast. Yahoo! Farm Girl Florence
most of our 4th’s are spent with a family get together. This year will be the same with food, games, fishing and what ever else there is to do weather permitting. Family is very important to me and after this year being so hard on all of one reason or another I hope that we can remember how lucky we are to live in America . I am afraid that things are going to be different for the United States in the future and we need to remember the ones that have served our country.So say a pray for the United States this fourth of July and the people that lives here to hang on to what it means to say I LIVE IN AMERICAN AND AM PROUD OF IT.
Hurrah Brenda!

Hi there… Just read your blog and love the story and pics from your July 4th! We have similar traditions… A main street parade and fireworks at the beach, and the celebration really does bring everyone together in Wesport, CT. Beautiful blog… A girl after my own heart. Here’s to all the backyard farm girls!
Cheers!
