What is needed, says Ellen Manson, chairman of the 4th of July ' Committee, are volunteers and persons interested in working on various committees handling publicity, parking, logistics, vendors and performances. Manson also said she is interested in hearing from those wishing to perform on the 4th of July and those who wish to give a speech. A letter, she said, will be going out soon to vendors wishing to display their wares. For those who wish to help or perform or have questions, please contact Ellen Manson at 675-1349.
