Independence Day Event Sponsored By City of Collinsville, Donors & Volunteers

Several hundred Collinsville residents joined in the fun and patriotic activities Monday evening in the Collinsville City Park. They enjoyed fireworks, water mellon, face painting, pop corn, a dunk tank, horse rides, jupiter jumps, bubble gum blowing, horse shoe pitching, sack races, clown balloon animals, snow cones and visiting with friends and neighbors. The local band "Smokin' Tumbleweed" provided musical entertainment.

City employees were working the entire evening to keep the fun flowing and then cleaning up after all others were gone. The official city thank you added 7/6/2006 follows:
