Summer’s here and the living is easy in Southwest Missouri. Although we are blessed with all 4 seasons, summer is my favorite . There are so many things to do when the weather warms up, it’s hard to fit everything in after work or on the weekends. So far we’ve been lucky to have nice rains to keep the rivers running at a good pace. This is great for those of us who enjoy a lazy day on the river without having to drag the canoe too much.
Locally, the Raymondville Picnic starts this week. The 59th annual event is held in the small village of Raymondville, Mo. It’s always a great time for the kids since there are carnival rides and games and for adults who gather for gospel music, country music, dancing,crafts, food and fun.
Then begin the 4th of July celebrations. June 25th the Houston Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a fireworks display at the fair grounds. This is always a good time.
This year the “Wall that Heals” will be in Cabool, Mo. beginning July 1 thru July 4th. The half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial will be located at the Cabool High School football stadium and will be open 24 hours a day. Freedom Celebration fireworks display sponsored by Cabool Park Board begins at 9:45 p.m.
Every 4th of July we are reminded that we are privileged to live here, raise our families here and celebrate with our neighbors the freedom to enjoy living in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks.
Happy Summer everyone!
