Firecracker Festival’s Fun Greendale’s Grand Fourth of July fun and excitement begin bright and early in Greendale Wednesday, July 4. Registration for the Greendale 5K run/walk starts at 7:30 a.m. at Greendale Cabin, off Nowlin Avenue. The run/walk starts at 9 a.m. You can also register for the event at www.racedmc. com. A fishing derby, for kids ages 3 to 16, has registration starting at 8 a.m. at Schnebelt Pond, with the derby running from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. First 200 kids receive T-shirt and goody bag. Youngsters need to bring their fishing poles, but bait is provided. Lunch will be served at noon while the judges tally the results of the morning. Great prizes are given out compliments of local businesses. The kids also can take part in the bike parade which starts at Oakey Park
and continues to the Greendale Cabin. Registration starts at Oakey Park at 2:30 p.m. The first 200 kids registering receive a T-shirt. The bike parade starts at 3 p.m. Safety first, the city is asking that entries are not motorized bikes/golf carts/ cars/scooters. If the temps high and you’re feeling hotter than a firecracker…you can cool down before the fireworks, at the Greendale pool. It will be open for free from noon - 6 p.m. More fun can be had around the Cabin with food, music (local bands), and more until the fireworks start at dusk. For more information call the City of Greendale at 1-812-537-9219 or the Park Board President, Linda Cromer at 1-812-537-2013.
Harrison’s Happening The annual Harrison Fourth of July parade starts at 2 p.m. beginning at the Community Center on George Street, continuing on Broadway to State Street to Harrison Avenue and returning to the Community Center.
Family entertainment 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Community Center including free kid activities, live bands, hot air balloon rides, $5 per person. Fireworks display begins at dusk.
One day only, the Aurora Firecracker Festival nonetheless has more activities planned this year than last, said Mike Peters, committee member. A project improving the walking trail in Lesko Park was expected to be underway last year, so the festival was moved to a couple blocks of Ind. 56. This year, it will be back in the park, but with the project completion set for June, it won’t include craft booths, as the park grounds may still be recovering, he said. Hopefully, the crafts will return in 2013 when the festival may go back to two days. As for this year, a full range of activities and entertainment is planned for the festival Saturday, June 30. Opening at 12:30 p.m., the entertainment will begin with Bob Hudson’s Country Kings, and activities with the king and queen contest. At 2:30 p.m., the Showtime Dancers will perform. Meanwhile, registration for the baby contest will be from 12:30 p.m. to
3:15 p.m., with the contest from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. At that point, the prince and princess contest will begin for youngsters grades two and three from Dearborn, Ohio, Switzerland and/or Ripley counties. See the Prince and Princess contestants on Page ?. Evening activities will begin with the presentation of colors by the Korean War veterans at 6:30, followed by the National Anthem, a prayer service, and, at 6:40 p.m., awards to veterans. Hoosier Hoedowners will perform at 7 p.m., and the Modulators at 8 p.m., followed by fireworks over the Ohio River promptly at 10 p.m., weather permitting. Folks are invited to bring picnics to the park for the festival, but there also will be food vendors. The festival committee is not charging for vendor space for qualifying vendors, said Peters. Rain date for fireworks will be Sunday, July 1, also at 10 p.m.
Rising Sun’s Rockin’ Rising Sun’s fireworks launch Tuesday, July 3, at dusk. The real fun in Rising
Sun is the Shiner Pride Car Show Sunday, July 1. Find our more on Page 4.

Roar returns to Aurora’s riverfront
Have you ever wanted to drive one of those nifty hydroplanes that go roaring past during the A Roar of Thunder regatta? Well, this year you could learn to do so, said Charlotte Hastings, coordinator of the event at Aurora’s riverfront Lesko Park. “They’re doing a driving school which will be a new thing this year,” she said. It’s one of four places the Powerboat Superleague is offering schools, which will be open to the public. Two two-seater powerboats will be available just for the training, which will take place
both in a pool somewhere and on the Ohio River, she said. The Saturday, Aug. 18, and Sunday, Aug. 19, event is the 14th annual regatta for Aurora. Racing will occur on both days, and food vendors will be available. Opening ceremonies will be at noon. “If we can come up with enough money, we’ll have an airshow,” said Hastings. Live entertainment also is planned, definitely for Saturday afternoon and possibly Sunday afternoon as well. For more information about the regatta or the driving school, call 1-877-571-6004.

Things are Shakin’ in L’burg
Don’t you dare miss the BIG event of this little burg this summer. Rivertown Player’s 30th Musical Production All Shook Up runs July 19, 20 and 21 at the Lawrenceburg High School Auditorium with an 8 p.m. curtain time. One fine day in 1955 Shea Haney, portraying, Natalie, a teenage girl from a small Midwestern town is dreaming of riding off on a motorbike with the man who will change her life. Much to Dennis’ (her best friend and veteran RTP and LHS actor Cody Havlin) dismay, it is not him. As Sylvia, a local watering hole owner, Carla Zell, director of last summer’s offering of “Once Upon a Mattress” and starring in 2010’s “HONK, the ugly duckling musical” she brings this quirky role to life. Other veterans of the LHS and RTP stage find romance in this play. Ryan Dittmer and Amanda Borchers, as Jim and Miss Sandra, seem smitten with each other while Jamie Haney playing Lorraine and newcomer Nick Hudson as Dean find each other. Ten more extremely talented actors and actresses round out this cast of eighteen. When a mysterious stranger on a motorcycle stops in town for repairs, Ethan Brunner (most recently starred in “Streetcar Named Desire” this past March) as Chad, sizes up the sleepy town and electrifies the bar patrons with the rebellious spirit of his music. Rounding out this veteran talented

River City Classic Car show in Aurora July 7 By Chandra L. Mattingly Staff Reporter
H
undreds of mostly older cars and other vehicles will roll into Southeast Indiana within one week’s time. That’s because two renown car shows are less than a week apart: the Shiner Pride Car Show Sunday, July 1, in Rising Sun, and the River City Classic Car Show Saturday, July 7, in Aurora. Registration for either show is $20 day of the show, and runs from 8 a.m. to noon, sponsors said. Preregistration can save folks heading to the Aurora show $5, said River City Classic Car Club Vice President Gerald Vonheder. In Rising Sun, the show is sponsored by the city but run by the Shiners Band Boosters, said band director Ron Eads. Folks can pre-register at shinerpridecarshow.com. “There are classes for cars, trucks and bikes, and they are classed by years, not by model,” said Eads. The classes include six for cars and four each for trucks and motorcycles. Judging starts at 10 a.m., with early arrivals judged first. Trophies are awarded at 4:30 p.m. A minimum of 150 trophies will be awarded, with the number of trophies dependent on the number of entries in a class. The bigger the class, the more trophies, said Eads. Additional trophies are awarded for Best of Show, Best Engine, Best Paint
and Best Interior. The first 250 entrants will receive dash plaques. The show usually draws between 350 and 400 vehicles. Concession stands and 50s, 60s and 70s music will be provided to entertain the crowd, said Eads. For additional information, call him at 513-284-4939.
Ride into River City
In Aurora the next weekend, about 250 to 260 vehicles are expected, said Vonheder. The club will award 75 trophies, plus a few special trophies. Some are sponsored in memory of an individual or individuals. “Then there’s the Mayor’s Trophy, the Fireman’s Trophy and Policeman’s Trophy, and Best of Show, too,” he said. The trophies are based on a point system, including how clean a car is, what condition the body is in, etc. There are no classes as such. During the show, the sponsor will give away $25 every half hour, and folks also can participate in a split the pot, he said. The first 100 to register will get goody bags and dash plaques, and, if they pre-register, a free T-shirt, he said. Awards will be announced at 3:30 p.m. For more information, go to the website: rivercityclassicsaurorain.com. Meanwhile, the car club has begun its summer cruise-ins which are 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. the first Thursday of every month through September, on the north end of Bridgeway Street in Aurora.

Facts for the Fourth ■■In May, 1776, after nearly a year of trying to work out their differences with England, the colonies sent delegates to the Second Continental Congress. Finally, in June, admitting that their efforts were hopeless, a committee was formed to compose the formal Declaration of Independence. Headed by Thomas Jefferson, the committee also included John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Philip Livingston and Roger Sherman. On June 28, 1776, Thomas Jefferson presented the first draft of the declaration to Congress. ■■Betsy Ross, according to legend, sewed the first American flag in May or June 1776, as commissioned by the Congressional Committee. ■■Independence Day was first celebrated in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776. ■■The Liberty Bell sounded from the tower of Independence Hall on July 8, 1776, summoning citizens to gather for the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence by Colonel John Nixon. ■■Both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, died on Independence Day, July 4, 1826. ■■The first 4th of July party held at the White House was in 1801. ■■In 1941, Congress declared July 4 a federal legal holiday. ■■The majority of the nation’s flags and patriotic paraphernalia in relation to the 4th of July is produced in China. Nearly $349 million dollars are used each year to import in the flags, banners, decorations, and emblems. ■■The national anthem is set to the tune of an old English drinking song called “To Anacreon in Heaven.” ■■Over an estimated 150 million hot dogs will be consumed on July 4. That’s roughly 1 dog for every two people in the U.S.
