An Old-Fashioned Fourth Of July


An old-fashioned Fourth of July will be held at the Farm 
House Museum, with turn-of-the-century games and activities 
beginning at 4 p.m. on the Farm House lawn.

Entertainment will begin at 5 p.m. with the Sweet Adelines 
barbershop singers, history professor Clair Keller as George 
Washington and the Onion Creek Cloggers.

From 5 to 7 p.m., there will be popcorn, lemonade and ice 
cream, and people are encouraged to bring their own picnics 
to enjoy on the lawn.

At 7:30 p.m., the celebration moves to the football stadium, 
where the Ames Municipal band will perform. Fireworks, 
sponsored by the Ames Jaycees, will begin at dark (about 9:30 
or 10 p.m.)
