4th of July

On this Independence Day, let's take a moment to show our love for our country. And what better way than by listening to goats belt out the national anthem?

Even though the 4th of July is a holiday to celebrate, the Missoula Police Department and the Montana Highway Patrol wants to remind all recreationists to be safe and responsible when it comes to drinking and driving over the holiday weekend.

If you're looking for family fun in Missoula this 4th of July Friday, the annual Old Fashioned 4th of July festivities will be going on at Fort Missoula. Things get started with a pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The rest of the day will include music, food, old-time games, history demonstrations, a patriotic welcoming ceremony and more.

Forget about the dawn’s early light, this Fourth of July is all about the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air and maybe even a couple of spiders. Those are the ones that, well, look kind of like a spider, anyway. Here are 10 great fireworks displays throughout the country. If your city didn’t make it, don’t worry — we’re sure it’s just as good.

If you are like pretty much everyone in America, you will be spending the fourth with family and/or friends. It’s just one of those holidays that screams backyard get-together. I myself will be enjoying a fun-filled fourth with the ones I love and am planning on bringing a couple of these delicious ideas for the party...

Make no mistake, the ban on fireworks in the city of Missoula will be strictly enforced, perhaps for the first time in many years, on this coming Fourth of July holiday.

Don't lie! You have done things with fireworks that are probably not safe. I have a list longer than my arm, full of stupid things I have done. For example, trying to send a grasshopper into space on a bottle rocket. Or stuffing a huge missile into a stuffed animal's butt. But luckily I still have all my fingers. This 4th of July holiday, make sure to obey the law and be safe. Or you may end up li

Nothing is more All-American then scarfing down your body weight in pork byproducts (i.e. hooves and a@$holes). Every year Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs hosts a 4th of July Hot Dog eating contest on Coney Island in New York. It is an international event with people from all over the world competing to scarf down as many hot dogs as possible in 10 min...

Nuthin' more boring than pictures of a fireworks show...unless of course your hot girlfriend and her BFF are making out in front of the display, or somebody in the background is barfing in the potato salad.

Your History lesson for the day: The birth of our nation was due in part to the guerilla warfare tactics of our Army during the Revolutionary War. Also the "Redcoats" were a bunch of whiny pillow biters. U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
