Wakefield needs help...for parade

Attention All Students looking for a Community Service Opportunity: Volunteers are needed to help with Wakefield’s 4th of July Parade.

Don't show up to work without your lapel pin.

Planning begins for July Fourth

WAKEFIELD - Spring is in the air, trees are in bloom, the Annual Spring Carnival celebrated an unprecedented five days of sunshine and Wakefield has a full calendar of upcoming community events. The annual Fourth of July Parade is the last major event before the town settles down for the hazy days of summer.
From the first blasts of sirens from the approaching fire engines, the parade conjures up images of marching bands, Caribbean dancers with fantastic plumage, equestrians, the best drum corps in the world, honor guards, balloons, pop corn and, of course, floats!
The Committee is busy reviewing bands and other entries and it is time to put out a call for floats.

Hope you like our entry.

Aw.

FOURTH OF JULY is a fun time for all, especially the children, here is Gianna Palmerino with her dad Nick at the Independence Day Committee Parade.

With those things on her head, doesn't she look like a Fraggle?

A picture is worth a thousand words.

I actually fell asleep instead of watching the show. Again, I'm an idiot.

Despite heightened security and drizzling rain, tens of thousands of patriotic revelers crowded the Charles River Esplanade last night for the nation's premier Fourth of July celebration. People came from across the country -- and some camped out all night -- for the free concert by the Boston Pops and rocker John Mellencamp, followed by the city's signature fireworks display.

Ah, yes, another Fourth has come and gone. We've been getting some good "rockers" lately. Mellencamp this year, Aerosmith last year. Let's try and get Prince for next year. He did the best halftime show ever. Think of what he could do with an orchestra!

Happy birthday, USA!

Can you believe this great nation of ours is 231 years old? She looks great for her age. Look for her on the cover of this month's Shape.
