Happy Fourth, Hope!

Even though Hope had to cancel the Old Fashioned Independence Day this year, the town is still gearing up for the Fourth of July.  The bunting is hung from our beloved band stand and the flags are going up on the light poles around the square.  As a reminder, Per town ordinance:  

It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to discharge fireworks except for between 9:00 AM and 12:00 midnight on Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and New Years Eve.  

With the recent stall in the reopen orders, it seems cancelling the popular fourth of July festivities was the right step.  Gatherings of over 250 people will not be allowed to happen as previously scheduled.  Case numbers are still too high.  Have a happy, healthy and safe Fourth!
