.....a
city that knows how to celebrate our nation's birthday.
Once
again this year Pleasant Hill will be
the place to be on July Fourth for a fun and
exciting
day of festivities. The
planning for July 4, 2008 is now well underway. In
2007 it seemed as though the whole Pleasant
Hill community turned
out for
the festivities, and we were all treated
to a sensational day. Every
year our goal is to outdo the previous
year, and this tradition continues. Our
goal this
year is
to surpass all previous years and provide
our
community with the best ever fun-filled
day of celebration.
The
July 4th events are brought to you by the PLEASANT
HILL FOURTH OF JULY COMMISSION, an all-volunteer
organization dedicated to presenting a full day
of activities to help residents of Pleasant Hill
celebrate America's independence, its birthday,
and its grandest holiday. For 2008 the Commission
is pleased to present the community with another
July 4th to remember.

is always room for another set of hands in
the planning and execution of the July 4 celebration.

working with a great team of dedicated volunteers,
