This old-time picnic features parade, entertainment, games, crafts and lots of food. The Truman Library Independence Day Celebration will take place 4 July at the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri. There will be food, games, music and fireworks. It is illegal to shoot-off fireworks in most neighborhoods in the Greater Kansas City area. In many communities where this activity is normally allowed, special bans are in affect due to drought conditions.
Fireworks are very dangerous, particularly for young children.
Please visit any of the above sites or locally sponsored fireworks displays. Come travel with us to the Kalahari Desert in Africa. The film will be followed by open discussion facilitated by Judith Reagan, Director, International Programs. Please join us as we enjoy a summer evening of entertainment and enriching discussion. Originally the name is derived from the days when Sirius, the Dog Star, rose just before or at about the same time as sunrise, although this is no longer true owing to precession of the equinoxes.
