Fourth of July entertainment

By Brenda Erdahl:

As the country celebrates its independence, Thursday, July 4 with parades, barbeques and fireworks, Maple Lake and surrounding communities offer opportunities for locals to ring in the occasion.

North Shore Parade

The Pribyl family and friends will hold their annual Pribyl North Shore Parade, Thursday, July 4, at 11 a.m. on the north shore of Maple Lake to celebrate Independence Day. This is the 25th year of the event that features old-time tractors, classic cars, clowns, the North Shore Marching Band and more. New this year, an ice cream truck will be on site along with fun new floats and lots of candy.
