Having nailed down all the particulars, the City of Liberty announced today its plans for the towns annual Third of July celebration. <\/p>\n
At the Liberty Municipal Park beginning at 6 p.m. on Monday there will be an inflatable obstacle course and bounce houses, face painting and the LYBA All-Star teams selling food and drinks to raise funds for their trips to the state championships. <\/p>\n
Timothy Wayne and The Abbot Creek Band will perform at 7 p.m. <\/p>\n
Mayor Carl Pickett will act as M.C. and offer welcoming remarks at 9 p.m., and the fireworks display will begin at 9:15 p.m. <\/p>\n
The weather looks like it will cooperate with Monday evenings festivities. Today, forecasts call for Monday to be partly cloudy with only a 10 percent chance of rain. The high during the day should be 89 degrees, and the low that night is expected to be 75, so the temperature when the fireworks go off should be in the very low 80s or high 70s. The sun will set at 8:24 p.m. <\/p>\n
Anyone enjoying the park, or the outdoors anywhere, during the day Monday, should wear sunscreen. The UV index for Monday is extreme. <\/p>\n
The city invites everyone attending the fireworks show that night to bring a blanket and relax on the grass. Bringing bug spray would probably also be a good idea, but remember no alcoholic beverages are permitted in the park. <\/p>\n
Historians tell us that it was really on July 3, 1776 that the Continental Congress voted to adopt the Declaration of Independence. John Adams himself once wrote that July 3 would be remembered as the day American became independent. <\/p>\n
That is not why Liberty holds its celebration on July 3, but it is good to know. <\/p>\n
