“We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless.” – Lech Walesa, Polish statesman and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who served as the President of Poland between 1990 and 1995.
The smell of freedom is in the air says this patriotic kitty. We thank the countless men and women who have secured our country's freedom, giving us the ability to check out all the activities this July 4th weekend. America’s independence is being unfurled like our great flag over the whole weekend for some of Wanderings venues. Spend part of your weekend enjoying one of Warren County's fine wineries as they celebrate with live music, drinks, food and a great atmosphere.
And there is a good possibility a 4th of July day of activities is happening in a town near you. Mosey to Washington or Blairstown to celebrate all day. You'll find music, food, kids' activities and the famed Duck Race in Blairstown. Look for firework displays happening Sunday and Monday night. Shippen Manor is inviting everyone to tour their historic building and stay for live music from Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society. And nothing says “America the Beautiful” like a walk through VonThun Farms Sunflower Trail for their Grand Opening weekend. While you’re there, pet some farm animals and PYO raspberries.
To everyone this weekend, Happy 4th of July and Happy Wanderings!
