Fourth of July on Sunday will open an hour earlier at 11 a.m. featuring carnival rides, games, and food. Live music will be played from 5:30-8:30 p.m. by Jake Armer and the Hotdogs.
The fireworks show will begin around 9:30 p.m. as well as a live radio broadcast of the show by Wild 102.9. Go to the Facebook event page for more information.
Each Facebook event page includes a donation plugin that directly funds RSVP for all of the Fourth of July events and activities for those interested in donating.
Molly Walt, CEO of RSVP, has also organized a GoFundMe page for donations towards the Fourth of July celebration. At the time of this publication, $910 of the $7,500 goal has been reached.
Additionally, sponsorship packages are still available on RSVP’s website here. Tickets and special packages are available for purchase and all proceeds go toward assisting RSVP in coordinating the carnival and fireworks show.
