BRATTLEBORO — So far, the “By the People: Brattleboro Goes Fourth” all-volunteer citizens' committee - planners of the town's annual Independence Day celebration - has raised $10,000 of the $14,000 needed for local bands, fireworks and appropriate liability insurance and security.
Could you help us bridge the gap as we mark our community event's 40th anniversary with a day of free family festivities this July 4?
Working with the town Recreation & Parks Department, we're again planning a morning parade downtown and afternoon and evening program of games, concerts and fireworks at Living Memorial Park.
The 10 a.m. march along Canal and Main streets to the town Common is open to all units that agree in advance to a set of safety rules. (Parade participants can request a signup form with a full set of guidelines by e-mailing [email protected].)
Thanks to all who send a contribution to By the People: Brattleboro Goes Fourth, P.O. Box 1112, Brattleboro, VT 05302. This celebration has been a town tradition for four decades, and the committee appreciates your help in ensuring it continues.
