"History" of a Winning Float
The Burlington Historical Society took first place in the Fourth of July float contest.
The following is a letter from Burlington's Historical Society president Mary Nohelty on the society's float winning 1st Place in the 4th of July Parade float contest. She also sent pictures of the float before the parade and in the parade (see above): Hi Everyone, if you haven’t heard the good news, we took first place in the Fourth of July float contest. Now we have two trophies, one for the West School float and one for our farming heritage. I wonder what will be next?

Recipe of the Week: Fourth of July Rice Krispie Treats
These easy to make red, white and blue treats are great for little chefs to help with.
"If our country is worth dying for in time of war let us resolve that it is truly worth living for in time of peace." ~Hamilton Fish My boy is always asking to help me in the kitchen. Since it is typically a mad scramble to get dinner on the table after work and activities, our cooking together time is reserved for the weekends. I was looking for something to make to bring to a party on the Fourth of July and stumbled upon a really fun photo and recipe on www.lilluna.com. I knew it would be the perfect treat for us to make together.

Hi Julia, Thanks for the comment. We did have Wilmington listed in an earlier version of this story (I took out previous days yesterday) but I think they had more than one show because we listed for earlier in the week. We'll try and make sure we have all of the different shows next year. Still, hope this article helps you find some good area shows! more ›
