Fireworks:
Several of our local communities plan to continue with their fireworks displays. If you do plan
to attend these fireworks displays, it’s a good idea to get a plan in place on where you will
watch these from prior to the fireworks.
• If you have friends that live near the display, see if they will allow you to watch the
fireworks from their yard or a place on their property where you will be able to socially
distance.
• Attempt to avoid places like parks where large numbers of people will be gathering
close together making social distancing impossible.
• Think outside the box! Where would you still be able to view these without going into
the main public areas?
If you are not attending or observing fireworks on July 4 th or if your area is not having a
fireworks display this year, there are still so many things that you can do at home with your
family to have a good time!
Cookouts/Gatherings:
You can still party but try to tone it down a bit! Keep this open to only your close
circle of friends/family. Try to keep any of these things outdoors to maintain social
distancing. Other things to consider:
• Avoid shared utensils.
• Attempt to have individual servings of food items rather than shared
serving bowls.
• Designate one person to serve food rather than having a buffet style
meal.
• Service single serve drinks (cans, bottled drinks/water).
Tips and activities to help maintain normalcy with your children and
young family members:
• Ice cream or “Sundae parties”
• Glow stick parties
• Squirt guns/water balloons
• Outdoor movie nights
• Backyard camping
• Hiking/swimming during the day
