Oneonta 4th of July – Hometown Festival

This 4th of July in the United States of America, first gratitude for all the people who are working to sell us the barbecue, beer, and fireworks; the people who are working to keep the electricity running or get the electric grid functioning again.

In Oneonta, New York, I’m hoping to spend as much time as possible outdoors and out of stores. Oneonta is sponsoring a Hometown Fourth of July celebration. Again, with thanks to all the organizers, sellers, people playing music, people playing baseball. Here’s the schedule:

The Hometown Fourth of July celebration in Oneonta will run from noon to 9:30 p.m. in Neahwa Park, with two stages of live music and dance, as well as games, demonstrations, a farmers’ market, face painting, baseball and visits from the Binghamton Zoomobile, the RoboKronos team, Wildlife Alive Wild Birds and Oneonta’s women’s roller derby team, the Derailing Darlings. The Greater Oneonta Historical Society will present self-guided walking tours of the park’s monuments from 1 to 5 p.m. Tour sheets will be available at the GOHS table near the historic Red Caboose. For more information about the GOHS program, call 432-0960.
