Sixty years ago, you might have decided (like the Bradys did some years) to go watch fireworks at Hills Dept. Store. Here's the Hills ad from July 2, 1966.
And if you'd like a soundtrack to go with your celebration today, how's about John Philip Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes Forever?" It still gives me goosebumps when I hear it, probably because when I was a member of the 1976 All-Ohio State Fair Band, we used to close our concerts with it.

A few shots while passing through Wellington last weekend. I think we take it for granted that the Spirit of '76 Painting is so associated with that charming village.
Happy 4th to one and all. No shooting bottle rockets from between your teeth! I mean, I hate to spoil your fun and all that... Okay.... At least keep your eye closed on takeoff. How about that?
