Fourth of July

Lazer Kittyz?

Today is the Fourth of July, and America is celebrating its 245th birthday. Parades, fireworks, picnics, and more. Here's what stores are open today and tomorrow.

The annual show is set for Thursday at 10:00 p.m.

St. Cloud's 73rd annual 4th of July Fireworks celebration will be held tonight at both Hester Park and Wilson Park, next to the Mississippi River.

Americans need a day of rest and relaxation to recuperate from their day of celebration. I can't be the only one who feels this way.

Nothing brings out the patriotism in us like Independence Day.

I've lived in central Minnesota for most of my life and have watched nearly every Fourth of July fireworks display in St. Cloud. My family has tested out many different viewing spots over the years--so I consider myself an expert when it comes to selecting the best spot.
