It’s been two years since local 4th of July celebration events were at full pace. This year, the joy and fun were back! And in Manchester, with added donations, there were more things to enjoy than ever before. The weekend started with the ME Rotary's annual Red, White & Blue Pancake Breakfast at Tuck's Point. Then, Beverly Farms had its raucous (in the best possible was) dance party at the Hastings House community center. Sunday brought fireworks at Singing Beach. Then, Monday was the parade, and, that evening, another round of fireworks at West Beach in Beverly Farms. What a year!
