I am sort of reluctant to write another column about the Fourth of July. I feel as if I have discussed just about every facet of the celebration. What more can I say? Well, it was another great day for Peabody, so I guess I can say, “Thank you!”

Thanks for the hours of work that went into the creation of a day of great events and activities from dawn until well after dark, and thanks for creating a history of such shows to draw crowds of people who seemed to genuinely enjoy our community. It really does not get much better than that.

Congratulations to the Fourth Fest Society for another wonderful event, and thanks again to the many volunteers who worked hard to put it all together. As they say, “You rock!”
