The Erick Chamber of Commerce will be sponsoring the annual 4th of July festivities this coming Thursday, beginning at the city park with several activities planned for that day. The events will kick off at 9:00 a.m. with the frog, turtle and 3 legged races, egg toss and egg roll, followed by the always entertaining boat race. Get your boats started and remember the guidelines on the boats are that it has to be made with tape and cardboard, with a two person team and they must be able to swim. You can use real boat paddles or make your own. The fireworks display will be around dark-thirty that same evening as always. Be sure to clean up your area afterwards if you plan on popping your own football field parking lot.
Happy Anniversary wishes go out to Darrell & Sherry Gamble on 6/29; and to Dennis & Lois Miller on 7/1, and to Jerrad & Bailey Crosby and Quentin & Shawn Snodgrass on 7/5.
