4th of July in Silver City

When I began my blog, I wanted to give you a feel for what life is like in Silver City - not just about real estate. From my perspective, July 4th is the biggest holiday we celebrate in our little town. You can feel the excitement building. People are beginning to work on floats for the parade. It's a big deal!! The parade has a wide variety of entries from marching bands, cheer leaders and baseball teams, family floats, floats with a message and some down right pretty ones! The Kiwanas Club serves a wonderful breakfast and lunch in the park. You will also find many booths in the park on the 4th of July. The museum has an ice cream social. You will see lots and lots of people! The theme for this years festivities is 'Saluting Grant County Pioneers Past, Present & Future'. You will want to be a part of this celebration whether it is by entering a float, having a booth at the park or just by being a spectator. It is a fun filled all American holiday in Silver City! And then the fireworks display will finish off the day. I think they are still seeking donations for the fireworks. It's a great way to celebrate our nation's independence. People come from miles around and many who grew up here come back just to be here on the 4th of July. Come and join the fun!!
