Children and their families and the thirsty will have a place to go for respite and refreshment this year during the annual Andover Fourth of July celebration. Once again from 9 AM to 2 PM the Andover Congregational Church, together with other area churches, will be hosting a couple of tents on the Village Green with a “bouncy house” and other fun activities for children. Free water bottles and homemade cookies will be given out at the tent, and donations will be received for food pantries. Cotton candy will also be available for $2.

The Pinnacle Bridge church will have a tent for dream interpretation. Do you have a certain dream that repeats or has impressed itself in your memory? Drop by their tent and see what their trained counselors may be able to tell you.

In addition, from 9 AM to 2 PM you can hear from a variety of local musicians who will be taking a turn on the Village Green under the area church tents, playing gospel and other patriotic music. Drop by and say hello.
