Every year we through a party as close to the 4th of July that we can July 6=9.73pxth!!!!4=9.73pxth of July on Saturday the 6=9.73pxth of July Invite. I repeat, the Forth celebration is on Saturday 6=9.73pxth of July this year.Anna and I would like to invite everyone out to help celebrate the Birth of our great nation.We are proud to welcome a new band from the local area “Jericho Haze”. This is a fantastic family friendly band playing the era of Good Rock and Roll. We will pass around a tip jar to help gather up some funds to help defray the costs of the gas and effort they put into entertaining the crowd. BBQ plans this year: We are using the Pig Rotisserie we made last year to smoke a whole hog. This thing is massive. Plan is to stuff 3-4 whole chickens and 10 pounds of sausage in it, sew it up and make another great smoked hog.Please bring Fireworks. We live outside city limits, so Big Boom fireworks are highly encouraged. If you can afford one, please bring at least one big boom. We also have areas that are for the little kids so bring sparklers and such for the young uns.Home Brew: If you are a brewer, I encourage you to bring a sample. I have 10 gallons fermenting right now. An “Ed the Red Amber” and a “Double Bock”.Things to bring:

Food theme will be good old Texas BBQ Rotisserie Hog. With Beans n’ Fixens. Oh yeah.We want people to bring some Homemade Ice Cream makers with the ingredients if they can?A good head count needed on who is thinking of coming out.We hope to see everyone there. The only caveat I have on the fireworks is if everything suddenly dries out and it becomes a fire hazard we may just stand around in a circle and yell boom at each other. So far nothing has dried out since last August. We have installed an irrigation system that will let us drench the area prior to launching fireworks.Goal is to keep all ten fingers and toes and most of your hearing but still have a good time. Last year we did have a small (OK large) episode with some fireworks going off on their own.Ed and Anna BentonThe Forth celebration is on Saturday 6=9.73pxth of July this year.
