Happy Birthday America!

Happy July everybody and Happy Birthday America. (and me…my birthday is in July)

Leaving June behind and all the activity that comes with graduation and schools letting out, we get to welcome in July and the celebration of our Nations birthday! We the people of the United States are honored to celebrate our nation’s independence. Happy birthday to the America!!!

Prescott not only kicks off the summer months celebrating our Nations independence with fireworks, parades and picnics, but also with the 132nd Prescott Frontier Days from July 1-July 7. Since 1888 Prescott has hosted the world’s oldest rodeo. This event has occurred over the 4th of July weekend since 1888. Remember to check out my community connection at TheresadeSoto.com to find out what is happening around town.

With the longer days and the great weather it is a perfect time to get to go out and enjoy all that living in “Everybody’s Hometown” has for us. Hike the trails, enjoy the lakes or walk the square.
