Hello neighbors,
As we approach one of our country’s most cherished holidays, I want to take a moment to wish every one of you a safe, joyful, and memorable Independence Day. The 4th of July is more than just fireworks and cookouts. It’s a time to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy and the community that makes our town a great place to live.
This year, whether you’re joining a local parade, gathering with family and friends, or simply enjoying the summer evening sky, please remember to prioritize safety. Celebrate responsibly. Keep an eye on the kids, follow firework guidelines, and look out for one another.
I’m proud of the spirit and resilience our town shows every day. This holiday is a perfect reminder of how important it is to come together as neighbors and support each other. Let’s use this time not just to celebrate our nation’s history, but to strengthen the bonds that hold us close as a community. I’m working on bringing back the Memorial Day and 4th of July parades in 2026. More on that in a future post, but I’m excited for what’s ahead.
Enjoy the festivities, savor the moments, and take pride in the small town we all call home. Here’s to a fantastic 4th of July!
With gratitude,
Brian Brubaker
Mayor of Round Lake
