Can you believe that the 4th of July is right around the corner
How do you plan to celebrate? When talking about this with our Team we realized that we all enjoy some things that are the same but we all have some traditions that are very different! From Parades, Fireworks, and 4th of July 5Ks! To a day at the lake, picnics with friends and/or family, pool parties, and Red, White and Blueberry Pancake Breakfasts! There are so many fun things to do! So, whether you plan on celebrating with a backyard BBQ or by watching a parade or fireworks, remember what America’s Independence Day is all about …Freedom!
“Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed” Dwight D Eisenhower - Our Founding Fathers declared independence and proclaimed that “it will be celebrated with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other” - John Adams
All of us at Quaid and Rooney hope that you have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
