FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION READY TO GO

Following the possibility of cancellation last year, The American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts have jumped in this year to see to it that there will be a Fourth of July celebration in Cape Girardeau.

When it looked like there wasn't much interest in the event last year, many organizations and people came forth to help put together the celebration. It proved a success, and as a result the posts with help from the Eagles are in the process of putting together this year's celebration for July 3 and 4. It will feature a parade, picnic and fireworks.

The Fourth of July wouldn't be same in Cape Girardeau without the event and the grand display of fireworks that typically is the big attraction. The city owes its thanks to all who are responsible for helping assure that the event continues.
