Fourth Of July 2014 Fireworks And Parades [Schedule]

On Independence Day some people think of BBQ'd hamburgers and hot dogs, watermelon and corn on the cob.  Most think of the fireworks displays and parades that bring the entire community out to the streets.  If you're curious where you and you family can enjoy these festivities here's a few of the local ones I ran across to share.

Let's start with your fireworks displays.  I'll give you the community and the time they are set to start.  That's tentative because it will need to be dark enough to see them.  Remember, you'll want to get there early so you can get a good spot to cozy up and enjoy!
