Well I cannot believe its July 4th this weekend. Where has the summer gone so far? I guess I've been too busy staging to notice, but atleast there is a vacation on the horizon!
Here are the events happening around Colorado Springs this weekend. While the usual Memorial Park fireworks display is not happening, there are several around, and the one in Palmer Lake sounds like fun!
Have a safe holiday!
