FROM THE PUBLISHER

LIBERTYFEST CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF FAMILY FUN IN EDMOND Our 2022 calendar of events is filled with so many wonderful activities for your family to enjoy in Edmond as it has been every year since we started publishing 21 years ago. This year there is a special celebration for our fourth of July activities that we call LibertyFest. It marks the 50th year of this nationally recognized event.

Ray Hibbard LibertyFest is the umbrella name that we give this celebration of our nation. It really encompasses a group of festivals that last over two weeks. It culminates with the fireworks display on the 4th of July, but you will not want to miss the host of other events that preceded the display. Edmond’s July 4th Festival is a non-profit 501(c)3 operation made up of individual volunteers from the Edmond area. Its purpose is to produce a series of family-oriented events around the 4th of July to celebrate the birthday of this great nation and the heritage of Oklahoma. As the host city of LibertyFest, Edmond highlights a series of events that help enhance the quality of life in Edmond, show pride in the community, support for non-profit and civic organizations, and provide educational opportunities.

Having served on the LibertyFest committee including a year as president, I can promise you it is an all-volunteer effort. There is not one paid position putting on LibertyFest. What I love most about LibertyFest is that it brings together the resources of the City of Edmond, the University of Central Oklahoma, area businesses, civic organizations, families, and individuals to sponsor and support the festival events.

Thanks to the level of support it receives, almost all the activities remain free to the public.

What started as a simple conversation sharing ideas over coffee at Around the Corner in 1972 has grown to be a celebrated, honored, and decorated event. The best in the State of Oklahoma and perhaps the region. Longtime volunteers such as Gwen Springer and Jerry James have been volunteering with LibertyFest since the beginning.

It has been a half a century celebration of our country that we look forward to continuing for the next 50 years.

We hope you will follow the progress including many new events leading up to the 4th of July in our weekly newspaper, Edmond Life & Leisure. We have once again been honored to be selected to produce the official program for LibertyFest which is both printed and online. It is your number one resource for all things to do with LibertyFest.

We encourage you to support all the organizations in this calendar of events. They want and need our support. As always, we appreciate the advertising support which makes this calendar possible and pledge the profit from this publication to go back to charitable organizations here in Edmond.

We will keep you updated on these events in our regular weekly newspaper and update the calendar on our web site, www.edmondlifeandleisure.com. It is our honor to serve Edmond as the only locally owned and operated newspaper. We take our responsibility seriously.
