For a unique and tasty side dish to bring to your Fourth of July barbecue, check out this Seven Layer Salad recipe.
The Fourth of July is my favorite time of year for several specific reasons. For one thing, no ski parkas. How lucky are we that our Independence Day takes place at the beginning of summer, when New England is in its prime: warm days, and soft, breezy nights. Next, the fourth involves none of the pesky expenditures that saddle those other gift giving holidays. Rather, the fouth of July consists of folks simply enjoying time together-usually at outdoor barbecues, with all the fixings. Finally, the Danvers Family Festival has a long history of providing local families with a solid week of fun-filled events leading up to the big finale at Plains Park. The fact that the festivities culminate in a patriotic, awe-inspiring fireworks display …

Find out about the fourth of July pregame festivities on July 3 at Maple Street Tavern.

I remember "pictures" being made too! The flag is definitely the most memorable one, but I haven't seen it attempted for years. I also remember a yellow smiley face. The last time I remember seeing pictures, they were exploding upside down, so maybe that's the reason they stopped it? Too hard to predict which way it'll have the stars? But I've thought the same thing about the technology making it… more ›
