We hope to see you at the annual July 4th Festival in Noblesville, of which Current in Noblesville is a proud and continuing sponsor. The planning committee has a full slate of events scheduled, and it all begins at 5 p.m. with a parade through downtown. Beginning at 6 p.m., the free fireworks extravaganza will unfold at Noblesville High School, where you’ll not only be treated to a fine display of pyrotechnics at 10 p.m., but before that the music of Ripple Effect starting at 7 p.m. In addition, there will be Animalia animal shows, a mini-NASCAR race track, giant slide, obstacle course, balloon artists, face painters, photo booth, carnival games for kids, rock-climbing wall, extreme air jumper, and more. Food vendors will be available, or you may bring a picnic dinner. A note about the parade: This year’s theme is It’s a Grand Old Flag, and Chuck Layton, Korean War veteran and former prisoner of war, will be the grand marshal. The parade (sponsored by Community Bank) will begin at 16th and Harrison streets and will travel from 16th to Logan Street, Logan to 9th Street, 9th to Monument Street, and Monument back to 16th, where it will end. Further, volunteers are needed to work two-hour shifts at the festival. For more information about volunteering, please contact Cindy Benedict at 770-2007 or [email protected].
