THIS MONTH’S QUESTION WAS SUGGESTED BY DENVER VOICE VENDOR RAELENE JOHNSON. What is your best childhood July 4th memory, or what are your current traditions for celebrating the summer? ALBERT BLAND Getting up early, thanking God for another blessed holiday, then gathering myself together for a wonderful cookout at home, or over at a relative or friend’s house, where we have a good time. Then, enjoying the fireworks in the city. May you all have a very safe 4th of July! RAELENE JOHNSON As kids, we loved summer vacation. On the 4th of July, we would go up into the mountains of Maine and have a picnic. We would do fireworks afterward. Those were the carefree days when we were children. JERRY ROSEN I usually go see fireworks on July 4th. It’s really beautiful to see all the lights on display. It’s really amazing. RODNEY K. WOOLFOLK BAR-B-Q!!! Concerts in the park, ice cream, swimming. BY REA BROWN, VOICE VENDOR @DenverVOICE July 2024 DENVER VOICE 15
