July 4th is a week from today so I figure it's about time I laid out some of the details I've been organising. The town has its own parade that's starting from 10am at the elementary school and finishing about noon at the town hall if anyone wants to watch that and I've managed to book the event space at Dunwich River Park from 2pm onwards as well as a sound system, but we could do with some folding tables for the food. I've talked to a few people about specific things and I'll be bringing some of the same food I made for my cookout back in April, for those of you who were here then. Everyone else, if you can bring a dish, please do, but it's not mandatory or anything. You probably will want a blanket or something to sit on though and let me know if you've got any sports equipment sitting around. At the very least we can get some
Ultimate Frisbee going (me and Steve would be on opposite teams, obviously), but
baseball's pretty easy to set up and I know some people would be into that too.
Don't worry if you're not American. It's a holiday for the locals because it's Independence Day, but for us this is just a good excuse for a party. There also won't be any fireworks if you're worried about the explosion sounds - even if some of us didn't really, really hate them, they're illegal in Massachusetts anyway. It's just gonna be music, food, and good times.
