July 4th on the Terrace

The 4th of July Show on the Terrace should be great!

Muriel Fox, chair of our July 4 event, says a lively program beginning at 5:30 pm on the terrace will feature songs by the Kendal Singers, readings of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, and a debate on “What Should Be the Next Amendment to the U.S. Constitution?”

Bob Kutscher will head a contingent of ushers to help us find seats under the tent.

Then, Enjoy the Fireworks. Rita Benzer will lead KoH residents up the hill to Rockwood Hall at 8:30 pm on July 4 to view spectacular fireworks along the Hudson River. Starting point will be the park entrance opposite Alida.

Those who are sturdy enough to climb to the hilltop should bring a flashlight and something lightweight for seating.

Others can watch from a variety of locations in our building; posters listing these locations will appear on easels near our elevators. Fireworks begin at 9pm.
