Week of July 1 The Year 2002
The Fourth of July
It never matters on which day of the week that the 4th of July happens to fall, it is always the July fourth week.
Many folks take their annual vacation at this time and many folks begin their summer long plans at this time.
As with many towns, Walpole has a long tradition celebrating Independence Day with a whole host of events for people of all ages.
Let’s remind ourselves of what takes place.
1. A parade of fire engines and trucks begins in East Walpole at 6 pm. This terrific parade goes down Washington Street to East Street and ends up behind the town hall on School Street. 2. At around 6:30 pm, there will be a concert, sponsored by the DBA, to continue the festive environment. 3. Everything then will be milling around and enjoying the food and drinks sold in the area behind the fire station. 4. But, the crowd then grows and swells to overflowing as people head for the area behind Town hall to prepare for the great fireworks display. 5. At roughly 9:30 pm, the finale to the night before the fourth begins with a huge fireworks display.
So, we urge one and all to stay home on Thursday and relax and celebrate the fourth of July right here in our hometown of Walpole.
