This is a special edition of the All-Oregon newsletter.
There are so many fun events planned all around the state
for the 4th of July, I decided send a newsletter just
listing them so you can make plans for the weekend or the
4th. I'll send out the July newsletter next week after my
computer comes back from the "doctor". Our hot weather on
Sunday was more than it can take and it literally had a
melt down. Hopefully my files can be saved, don't know
yet. Anyway, I'm so glad I kept back up copies of the
email list so I could get this out to you.

approaches, the old ball field fills with residents and
guest, friends from out of town, school chums who haven't
been seen all summer. The volunteer fireman pass out ice
cream to the youngsters. Some years we have music; usually
bluegrass or country. Some years we are too busy chatting
to notice. When darkness descends, we feel the BOOM of the
fireworks as they fly up to fill the sky overhead. As the
evening ends, we fold up our chairs and
