I do like to see all of the flags and have a large one flying at my house!

In the local paper today and I quote “No Independence Day is complete without a dazzling fireworks display, so head down to Leesburg for the city’s Fourth of July celebration taking place from 6 to 10 p.m. at Venetian Gardens, 201 E Dixie Ave.”
Many years ago, Grimes Manufacturing in Urbana would pay for the fireworks display that the Rotary Club would direct. Now, Rotary solicits monies from local businesses and individuals to cover the cost of the fireworks. Sometimes, Rotary funds are used to make up the difference if needed.
We felt that in our community no Independence Day is complete without a dazzling fireworks display.
