INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION!

The City of West Fork Fireworks Display will be held Thursday, July 2^nd at 9:30 pm. The display will be shot from Carter Park and is designed to be visible throughout the city. Because of an extended “fallout zone” which will encompass the entire area of Carter Park, the park will be closed during the event. Citizens are encouraged to watch the display from their homes or find an area where the skies above Carter Park are visible. Due to COVID-19 we will not have other activities (food, music, waterslides, etc.) at this year’s event.

Remember these guidelines when using any of the City Parks:

• Follow CDC’s guidance on personal hygiene prior to heading to the parks — wash hands, carry hand sanitizer, do not use parks and trails if you have symptoms, cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, etc.
• Always observe the CDC’s minimum recommended social distancing of six feet from other people. Practice it and know what it looks like. Practice it as you walk the trails, play tennis, disc golf, etc.
• Note that public restrooms are closed — be prepared before you leave and time outings so that you are not dependent on public restrooms.
• Bring water or drinks — public drinking fountains may be disabled and should not be used, even if operable.
• Bring a suitable trash bag. Leave no trash, take everything out to protect park workers
