Well it's here! July 4th. The day we Americans celebrate the independence that our forefathers fought for. The independence that now our many American heroes in the Armed Services fight to protect every day.
Here in Virginia there will be countless celebrations throughout the state. Some of the more prominent celebrations will be at the big amusement parks, Kings Dominion in Doswell and Busch Gardens in Williamsburg.
I represent homes from Richmond and surrounding areas, Chesterfield, Chester, Colonial Heights, and Petersburg. These localities have a history of great community and family celebrations year after year.
After you finish that grilled, juicy burger with all the fixings and oh why not try that big dog with extra chili, pack the kids, a big blanket, and some chairs and head out to one of the following firework spectaculars to enjoy together. All of these events are conveniently located to their particular area and always produce great shows.
