PORTION 7th STREET NE CLOSED – FIREWORKS

JAYCEE FIREWORKS will be held on Saturday, July 5th in the Dogwood Park – 7th Street N.E. area at dark. A portion of 7th Street N.E. between the Hoover High School driveways will be closed for the safety of those attending the event. (Posted 06/24/10) http://www.northcantonpolice.org/alert.htm

 The North Canton Jaycees/Quaker Steak and Lube Celebration in the Park is on Monday, July 5th, 2010.  Our annual Kids’ Parade will begin at 10:30am from the North Canton Hoover Stadium Parking Lot on 7th Street and will travel west onto Main St.  All children are welcome to decorate their bicycles and ride with an adult in the parade.  No registration is necessary.  Please arrive at the parking lot at 9:30 for the parade line up.

The evening portion of our celebration will begin at 6:00pm at the same location (Dogwood Park).  The Celebration in the Park includes food, fun, entertainment, and of course, fireworks!  The fireworks will be fired off in the same location as previous years (the ball fields on 7th Street).

Many of you may be wondering why we chose July 5th instead of July 4th for our celebration date.  Because July 4th falls on a Sunday this year, we were unable to block the city’s main streets due to the many churches that reside there.  We, as a chapter, decided not to break our events into two days (for example, to have the fireworks on the 4th and the parade on the 5th).  Instead, we, along with the YMCA, chose the national holiday, July 5th, as our Celebration in the Park date. 

We hope you attend all of these family-friendly events in celebration of our nation’s freedom.

Thank you and have a wonderful Independence Day!

Hello everyone!  So, who likes the snow and who wants to do a little harm to the groundhog?  (just kidding).  Personally, I’m not thrilled with the snow, except for the fact that I may get a day off of work out of it.  =)

On behalf of the North Canton Jaycees, I’d like to post a big thank you to our generous sponsors for our 2010 Celebration in the Park event!  We are very lucky to have Quaker Steak and Lube as our co-sponsor this year.  All of the sponsors are helping us keep this fun, family-oriented, event here for all of use to enjoy!  THANK YOU!

Have fun in the snow, but be safe!
