This public reading is not like any other; those present are encouraged to read a marked passage from the Declaration so "We the People" can all participate. Prior to the reading, a brief history of significant events of past years, including those leading up to the creation of the Declaration are recounted, so it is different every year. Special 250th Declarations are available to read from this year, so all can take turns in reading aloud this important founding document (don't forget your reading glasses!). Please share your experience at this public reading with others who did not attend - and the reason why it is called Independence Day. This event takes about 30 minutes or less, but it may be the most important 30 minutes of the day. Then you can go to your cookouts, parades, and fireworks knowing why it has been such a great American holiday for 250 years.Remember, every country has a 4th of July, but only in America is it Independence Day.
