THE FOURTH OF JULY
IN STILWELL !
A Salute to Freedom - Stilwell
Style!
Did you know that the fireworks
display is funded by residents
of Stilwell and visitors in
Stilwell on the 4th
of July! We are grateful to
KCPL each year for allowing us
to use their grounds and
property to host the fireworks
display but you make a
difference with your donation to
help pay for the actual firework
display. If you are in a
position to help, please
consider a donation to the
Stilwell Community
Organization. You can mail to
PO BOX 124, Stilwell, Kansas
66085.

Comment on annual carnival: The
Stilwell United Methodist Church
would like to make you aware that we
have decided to discontinue the
Annual SUMC 4th of July Carnival.
We are choosing instead to focus our
time and energy towards mission
projects that help people in need.
Please consider joining us for a
community-wide event in October to
package 36,000 meals for students in
Rwanda. Have a great 4th of July
and we’ll see you at the parade!
5pm - Parade Registration and Line
Up (192nd Street)

From 4:30 -
6:30 the United Methodist Church
will have a hot dog and chilled
water stand at 193rd and
Metcalf. Donations

in Mission) event.

Decorate
your bike, golf cart, build a
float and register to be in the
parade.
-
Anyone can
REGISTER TO BE PART OF THE PARADE
-
Registration helps us plan on
number of parade entries and there
is no fee unless you are running for
an elected office. If you are
in an election for office, we will
be looking for a minimum donation of
$100 as a contribution to the
community to help pay for the
firework display. That's
exposure to thousands of parade
goers and you get to help pay for
the fireworks!

Our "Salute to Freedom -
Stilwell Style" parade starts at
6pm on the 4th of July with
parade line up at 5pm. In
Stilwell, you don't necessarily
need to register for the parade
but just show up and get in
line. However, it would be
great if you are planning to be
in the parde to drop a quick
email to let us know so we can
plan accordingly. There is no
fee to be in the parade...its
FREE, however, it is election
year so if you are seeking
office or an elected official,
we are asking for a $100
donation (or more) to help pay
for the fireworks! Trophies
