Afterwards, there's a barbeque at the local rifle hall with music and a biergarten and something called a Battle Dance. I suspect an accordian is involved.
So I'll eat, drink and be merry. And maybe set off some fireworks later on tomorrow night if it doesn't look like I'll burn anything down.
And the next day, I'll be back here, at work, wondering why the hell I didn't take the rest of the week off.
What're ya'll doing?

I'm going to the town where I grew up, which used to be a small town. We'll go to the Jamboree at a local church. They have chicken barbeque, hamburgers, birch beer, cotton candy, ice cream sundaes and the like. They also have the local Coronet band play, a parade around the village common with antique cars and firetrucks, decorated bikes, "floats" made from hay carts pulled by tractors, and the odd horse or llama. There's a cake walk and two of the fire departments have a "water polo" match, which consists of pushing around a decorated beer keg with the power of the fire hoses.
Then, since it's also my mother's birthday, we'll have a lobster and steak dinner with chocolate cake, that I'm about to go make.
Happy Independence Day.
