FROM THE
50TH ANNIVERSARY OF LIBERTYFEST
Ray Hibbard
Our Edmond community is thrilled to host the biggest and best 4th of July festival here in Edmond, Oklahoma. It is the 50th Anniversary of LibertyFest. It is an honor that Edmond Life & Leisure has once again been selected to produce this official program for LibertyFest. We look forward to seeing you at all the magnificent events for this fantastic 50th year of celebration. We also owe a giant thank you to Citizen’s Bank of Edmond for being the Premiere sponsor for this big event. "LibertyFest is truly one of the best line-up of celebrations in Oklahoma. For 50 years it has encouraged participation of everyone in our community - from businesses to residents. It shines a light on why Edmond is such a wonderful place to live. Citizens Bank of Edmond is proud to be a headlining sponsor of LibertyFest and we look forward to seeing our friends and neighbors at the events throughout our community, celebrating our great nation,” said Citizens Bank of Edmond CEO, Jill Castilla. 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. The big heroes for LibertyFest are all the volunteers. They contribute hundreds of hours to making this week long celebration easy for Edmond to enjoy. The work and planning for LibertyFest events goes on year-round. Volunteers take time away from their families and other responsibilities to make sure we all have a pleasant and safe experience at these events. They are all folks who love their community and our country. It is truly a labor of love for our LibertyFest volunteers. We wish you and your family a safe and happy Fourth of July and hope you will join us in our Edmond LibertyFest Celebration. It is certainly a fitting tribute to our fine nation. It is one of the best celebrations in our great United States. Our family looks forward to seeing you along the parade route and at all the other events.
