First of July fun

Last Updated 7/2/2024

Amazing fireworks show to close the night

All the fun!

This year we had tons of fun in the despite the heat and rain bursts. We had amazing local vendors some new and some we've had in the past. The bubble pit was up and running and full of kiddos all night long. We also added quite a few new activities and fundraisers. 

New activities!

This year we expanded our festivities to include Potato Sack races and Turtle Races! This was something brand new and the kids loved it and had a blast competing against one another.

Fundraisers for good causes

This year we had two fundraisers. A dunk tank organized by TJ Franklin to raise money for new scoreboards at the baseball fields. The second fundraiser was put on by Kiplynn Franklin, she had a lemonade stand to raise money the Cannon family. 

Both these fundraisers were a huge highlight throughout the evening.

Fireworks show!

We ended the evening with a fireworks show put on by Girard's event's committee. This is always the biggest highlight of every First of July and we had so many people come and watch. This year we used the PYROCAST app for the show. This app allowed people to stream the fireworks show soundtrack.
