I am planning on showing up at least for a little while. Independence Day is one of my favorite days of the year. I have to make it up to City park in Ft. Collins to visit with Marilyn Musgrave.
I finish up the day at Loveland's fireworks. If any Freepers want to join me on Independence Day at Loveland's fire works display feel free. For the past eight years I have been leading a portion of the crowd in saying the Pledge of Allegiance and singing the National Anthem minutes before the fireworks begin. If you want to join in, we gather just North of the fire station at the entrance to North Lake park.
Just look for the wild and crazy guy that is leading the crowd in synchronizing their fireworks cheers. The three cheers are OOH!, AHH, WOW look at that!. It is a lot of fun getting everyone to say the same cheer. I recently had a surprise 50th birthday party and one of the gifts I got was a tee-shirt that reads OFFICIAL LOVELAND INDEPENDENCE DAY CHEERLEADER. I plan on handing out pocket Constitutions also.
It is part of the Free Republic Network. I maintain a website to try and keep freepers informed of upcoming events. Free Republic, Colorado Chapter. I don't spend as much time on it as I would like, but it is a reference place to find out what is happening.
I really like carrying a sign so I need to track you folks down. Thanks for the inspiring pictures and report, sorry I missed it.
We are not hard to track down as we post our whereabouts on the internet. 8-) . So, you're sorry you missed it, eh? Well not to fear because we do it every Saturday at noon. (see the links above for past reports.) Hope to see you tomorrow and Saturday
