🇺🇸 THANK YOU, EVERYONE! 🇺🇸
What an incredible celebration! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Welch Park at Lake Somerville to celebrate 250 Years of Freedom with us. Your energy, smiles, and patriotic spirit made this one of the most memorable Fourth of July celebrations we’ve ever had!
A huge thank you goes out to all of our workers and volunteers who spent countless hours planning, setting up, working throughout the event, and cleaning up afterward. Events like this simply wouldn’t be possible without your hard work, dedication, and willingness to serve our community.
We also want to give a very special thank you to Mayor Tommy Thompson and Sandy Thompson. ❤️ None of this would have been possible without your vision, leadership, countless hours of hard work, and unwavering support. Your commitment to our community and to making this celebration a success is truly appreciated, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you both do.
We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to our amazing sponsors for helping make this event possible:
⭐ The City of Somerville
⭐ Mama’s Kitchen
⭐ My Wrecker Service of Somerville
⭐ Citizens State Bank
We would also like to extend a special thank you to the Lake Somerville Lions Club. It was a pleasure having you at Welch Park serving the community and helping make this celebration even more special. Your participation and support are truly appreciated!
Your generosity and support helped create an unforgettable day filled with family fun, great music, delicious food, exciting activities, and an incredible fireworks show.
To every family, friend, camper, vendor, and visitor who spent your Fourth of July with us—thank you for making Welch Park the place to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Seeing our community come together in such a patriotic and joyful way is what this event is all about.
Unfortunately, as everyone was exiting the park following the event, we experienced an emergency situation that caused delays and inconveniences for many of our guests. We want to sincerely thank everyone for their patience, understanding, and cooperation during that time. We understand the inconvenience it created, and we greatly appreciate the respect and support shown by our visitors as emergency personnel and staff worked to address the situation safely.
We hope everyone had a safe, fun-filled holiday and made memories that will last a lifetime. We are already looking forward to making next year’s celebration even bigger and better!
From all of us at Welch Park—thank you for your support, your community spirit, and for helping make the America 250 Celebration an overwhelming success. God Bless America, and we’ll see you again soon! 🇺🇸🎆❤️
