CRYING FOUL ON PATRIOTISM

LOOSE MEAT​ present 4 Fun Ideas for a Fantastic 4th!

1. Spend 4th of July by the water
Find a lake, a pool or a beach to enjoy swimming, fishing, canoeing, boating and splashing to beat the heat.

2. Have a 4th of July barbecue with family and friends
If you've been invited to barbecue, enjoy this American tradition and if not, why not host your own 4th of July barbecue? Be sure to include 4th inspired desserts and drinks and buy a few sparklers and firecrackers to end the night with a bang. If you're not up for having the party at your home, have your friends meet you at a park – make sure to bring lots of cold drinks and barbecue fare to enjoy.

3. Attend a 4th of July festival
If you can't make it to the water and find yourself without the motivation to throw a party, no worries, find a community that celebrates the 4th with a festival and go enjoy the holiday en masse. Catch a parade or better yet, volunteer to be in a parade.

4. Watch Fireworks
It wouldn't be 4th of July without fireworks! You can buy your own and host a private fireworks display or check your local Chamber of Commerce to find a display close to home. Bring a blanket and chill-out under the stars as the sky lights up to commemorate our nation's birthday.

Happy 235th birthday America. And many more.
