This is the 30th rendition of the independence celebration. Previous years have seen a variety of activities and events held at the Washington Park venue. The pie-eating contest was always a favorite - who doesn't like consuming mountains of delicious pie? In addition, there's always a refreshing array of food vendors selling carnival favorites, sandwiches, drinks, and sweets. Of course, the kids love the inflatable slides, face-painting, and games that usually occur at the event. It will be exciting to see what else the city dreams up this year to add to the party!
