independence day

Here's the best part IT'S FREE! That's right it's totally free, there's no charge to get in or for parking. Just come out and enjoy two full days of July Fourth fun, fireworks food, live music, and activities at Elmer Thomas Park in Lawton, OK.

Kelso and I decided we'd take a quick trip back to childhood and relive the glory days by resurrecting the time honored Fourth of July tradition, the roman candle fight! We both had a spare $35.00 for the ER co-pay if need be, so we did what any responsible adult around fireworks would do, have a duel!

Get ready to celebrate your independence at the Heroes of America Fireworks Show at Apache Casino Hotel this 4th of July. It's going to be a huge party and you won't want to miss it. Here's the best part IT'S TOTALLY FREE! It's free to attend and free to park. There's going be be food trucks, beer tent, games for the kids, live music from Crosswinds and the Garagemahalix, an F-16 flyover from the 138th Fighter Wing and of course a HUGE fireworks display that night!

Three cheers! 1010 Mercantile is ready to celebrate our Nation's Independence with cool finds and apparel!

Freedom will be ringing out at Elmer Thomas Park this Saturday, as the second annual Lawton Freedom Festival celebrates our countries birthday.

I kept hearing all this conflicting information about where you can and where you can NOT light fireworks in or around the Lawton area so I went right to the city to ask and this is what I found out.

Fort Sill will have it's annual observance of Independence day at 9 a.m. today at McNair Hall. Prior to the observance, "Uncle Sam" will lead a parade from Academic Heights to post headquarters. The salute battery will fire off howitzers as an announcer reads off the names of all 50 states and their dates of entry into the Union...

Fox has begun slot-calling their summer schedule for the next two years, which makes them conservative compared to Marvel and Sony. 'Independence Day 2' has officially been dated for July 3, 2015, among other changes and updates to their schedule.

Lawton/Fort Sill celebrated Independence Day a little early this year at the Army Concert Tour on June 30th but here are some 4th of July celebrations that are happening at some of  our surrounding communities:

As we approach the Independence Day weekend, most folks have a common thread. A day off, B-B-Que with friends and family, and capping the day off with fireworks.

This Independence Day promises to be one of the hottest in recent memory. Records will be met and set if not shattered. So how do you cool off in this heat?

Independence Day; Fourth of July; freedom.  They all have a common thread.  If it were not for our founding fathers, we would all be drinking tea, eating crumpets, driving on the wrong side of the road and watching the BBC.
