Northwest Voice--Patriotic issue on newsstands now!
Northwest Voice--Patriotic issue on newsstands now!
It's almost here!
The Fourth of July has long been one of my favorite days of the year, because there's something inherently great about food, fun, family, fireworks...and FREEDOM!
The Northwest Voice put together a special issue with patriotism in mind, and I wanted to send you this quick newsletter to alert you that it goes on newsstands today! Don't wait until you get it in the mail, because with Friday being a legal holiday, you may not receive it in time to read about:
- the 4th of July calendar of events (covering July 3-5 across Kern County)
- pet safety tips for the often loud holiday
- a guide to local fireworks fundraisers in the Northwest
- Rusty Shoop's take on our Forefathers' plan for America
- a heartwarming account of how foreigners react to our nationalism
- "Treat them like heroes" - urging us to do "random acts of kindness" for soldiers
- Ann Cierley's choice for the perfect wine to go with holiday barbecues
*Fireworks Task Force is set to enforce safety regulations —call 868-6070 if you see use of illegal fireworks!
