Opinion: Rock the 4th at Asa Bales

0

It’s nearly here with a promise to be bigger and better in its fifth year. We’re talking about our city’s Independence Day celebration, Westfield Rocks the 4th, of which Current in Westfield is a proud and continuing sponsor. We urge you to plan a visit to Asa Bales Park for the city’s largest community gathering on July 4. As we’ve noted, the Headliner’s Car Show is going to be twice as large as what you might have seen last year, the Kids Area will feature new activities, the live entertainment by ESB and Stella Luna will help you rock the day (and night) away and the fireworks show will be of unprecedented scale and splendor. Toss in The Mill Tavern’s beverage garden and a wide array of summertime festival food and marketplace vendors, and it seems to us to be a can’t-miss proposition. For more information, please call 804-3184 or e-mail [email protected].

Pay attention! Indiana Code states that fireworks must be used either on the user’s property or on the property of someone who has given permission. The user must be 18 or be using the fireworks under adult supervision and must not use the fireworks after 11 p.m. or before 9 a.m., except on a holiday, when the hours extend to midnight.

Rob Garrett, Ameriana Bank assistant vice president and Westfield Banking Center manager, and his team have done a phenomenal job of having Ameriana play host to the Marketplace at Westfield. You know it as the Westfield Farmers’ Market, but by any name it has shown itself to be a gem. The season runs through August from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays at 3333 East Ind. 32 (at Carey Road). If you’re seeking fresh produce from local growers and goods from Indiana artisans, this is the place to find it. For more information, call 867-7740.
