4th of July Celebration

Our 4th of July Celebration is a three-day event meant to bring the entire community together to honor the nation's birthday. We offer a rib cook-off, night golf, inflatables in beautiful Elk's Park, and a delicious All American BBQ, just to name a few. On the day itself, watch the Fourth of July fireworks displayed over Kenney Reservoir. This is a unique experience you will not forget!
