Oh that sounds divine!!! I love the "small town" celebrations the best and really miss those from my childhood!!
I'm sorry about your dad and hope he is able to join you for the 4th of July fun! ((HUGS))
Now...I really AM curious to know...what firework is your favorite to light up? Please don't tell me you are a sparkle girl?

Nothing wrong with sparklers, just not what I picture you with. LOL!
