Happy 4th of July - What are you doing for the 4th?

Vacations, picnics, parties, BBQ's.. What are you going to do this 4th of July? Not to be cute but I wonder what the vacancy rate is in Honolulu this weekend. You know, with N Korea threatening.

Well, here's what I'm going to do... I have a nephew that has just come home from Iraq. The family is getting together in Elk Grove for a BBQ. He has just completed two tours in Iraq. Interestingly enough with the same division as my dad served in the Pacific in WWII. I can't tell you how proud we all are of him...and happy he's in one piece.

"The Flag" formerly "The Singing Flag" is a real old fashioned 4th of July event. It takes place at the Dave Brubeck Park in Concord. There are fireworks, speeches, songs, and some military displays. The fireworks are some of the best around on the 4th.

You may have to stand for the Star Spangled Banner.

The shows are tonight (2nd), Fri, and Sat at 7:30pm. It runs about 2-2.5hrs. You won't be disappointed. My hot tip is to watch the fireworks from the Concord Vietman Veterans Memorial. You can avoid the crowd. But the event, close up is very fun. Fun for all ages. Bring the kids.

Fly your flag!
