Make SURE you are there in 2014!

July 4 Heritage Days are on Friday this year, and the entire day offers a lot, starting with a 7:00-11:00AM pancake breakfast which frames the 5k (3.1 mile) walk/run before morphing into a chicken BBQ (11:30-2:00PM) while the old car Cruise-In ramps up, with awards announced at 2:00. Many other events throughout and afterward up to the 5:00-8:00PM pageant, with a concluding 10:00PM fireworks show.

Traditionally early registration for the 5k walk/run has been just $5, while including a t-shirt.

In the course of the Friday Walk Around Town

Two weeks later, Garrett Alumni Days Weekend (Friday/Saturday July 18-19) offers a new round of sociable events, the most vibrant being the morning golf outing and the free evening American Legion All-Classes Alumni party.

Still, other events are worthwhile: the Friday 9:00AM Walk Around Town, the Friday 7:00-9:00PM Auburn Community Band at the East Side Park across from the school, and the Saturday Noon Alumni Luncheon at the Middle School.

I don’t golf, but was AWED by the 2013 golf participation, high spirits and camaraderie - just being there to take pictures was a genuine high. 

And I don’t drink wine, beer, and whisky (or use drugs) anymore either, but still had a TERRIFIC time at the Legion, along with a few hundred others of all ages.
