Archer Lodge 4TH Of July 2012 Family Fun Day is Saturday June 30TH.

Archer Lodge 4TH Of July 2012 Family Fun Day is Saturday June 30TH.

I know it sounds weird  doesn’t it June 30TH? Don’t worry Archer Lodge has been doing this 4TH of July family Fun Day for years and it is always a fantastic time. It makes so much sense to do it on the Saturday when everyone can enjoy and still do your stuff on the 4TH.

There are all kinds of fun things to do, in the morning they have the Archer Lodge 5K Road Race/Walk. Then at 11am the world famous Archer Lodge 4TH Of July Parade begins and there are plenty of good spots to camp along the route, small town America is alive and well at this parade.


The whole day is then filled with activities like pony rides, inflatables,concessions,bingo, the big splash down courtesy of the Archer Lodge Fire Dept. they might need extra this year!!
The night before, the contestants in the BBQ cook off started their cookers and that delicious result will be on sale with handcut fries, sno cones, ice cream, you get the picture.
At 7PM there is a patriotic ceremony to honor those who have served their country and there are some fascinating stories of young men and women from Archer Lodge who went off the fight in the wars gone by.

The grand finale and my favorite fireworks display, the truly world famous Archer Lodge Fireworks. We went the first year we moved to Archer Lodge some thirteen years ago and let me tell you people come from miles for this one.
The thing I like about it is, there is no formality with parking and tickets, you just pull up on the side of the road or in an open field, and sit on the grass or on your roof, bed of the truck, and you are right under them!
Here is a link to the schedule of events, stay cool!
