Happy 4th of July!
Two River’s traditional Fourth of July festivities will take place at Walsh Field on Friday, July 4.
The Municipal Band will perform starting at 7:00 PM.
Then Lee Duval and Frank and Sandy Birr will lead the crowd in singing favorite patriotic songs.
At dusk (around 9:15 PM), Spielbauer Fireworks and the peerless (and fearless) Ploeckelmann family will light up the night sky with their always-outstanding pyrotechnics, fired from the outfield of TR’s cozy municipal stadium.
Special thanks to the local businesses and organizations whose donations of over $8,000 make our annual July 4 fireworks possible.
These businesses and groups support our community events—be sure to say “thank you” by supporting them throughout the year.
