the fourth of July

06.23.2012 By: Eliza, MiniBury Founder

If you’re in the know we don’t have to tell you this, but for the rest of us here’s a little secret: apparently the place to be for the fourth is Bristol (sorry Middlebury). The day starts at 7:30 sharp with a 5k race, followed by an outhouse race at 9:00, then a parade at 10:30, and concluding with live music, crafts, food, and much more at noon (oh and did we forget to mention the pony rides and bounce house?). And in case that isn’t incentive enough, Bristol also host a party on the 3rd of July including fireworks, live music, games, food on the green.  For more information about these events and specific times, be sure to visit their website.

Hello, I’m Eliza. I founded MiniBury in 2012 because I had a hunch that I wasn't the only parent in Addison County missing fun family friendly events. I love the challenge of finding and sharing information about our community to other parents.
