.....a
city that knows how to celebrate our nation's birthday.
Come
to the party !
Once
again this year Pleasant Hill
will be the place to be on July Fourth for
a fun and
exciting
day of festivities. Last year
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 to present our
community with the best ever
fun-filled day of celebration. Last year the commemoration
of our nation's birthday certainly
kept up that tradition. We
want to thank all the participants
who made it such a special
holiday: the runners in the
5K
Fun Run, the parade entrants
who
collectively made for a fabulous
parade, the fine
entertainment and games provided
in the park, the Diablo Valley
College
Pops Band who provided live
music during the fireworks,
and of
course the fireworks itself.
All were superb - all helped
provide us with a memorable
experience, and all deserve
our sincere thanks.
And last but definitely not
least, we thank the many thousands
of
enthusiastic
spectators who added a spirit
of excitement and festiveness
to
this special
day.
Everyone is a patriot on this special day
