Staying Safe and Having Fun on the Fourth

Whether you’re having a family barbecue, heading out to the lake, going to the Greenbriar to watch some golf and Kenny Chesney, or sitting at home watching fireworks on your TV, I think all of us are well aware that tomorrow brings a rather fun festivity that comes only once a year. Here are some tips to make your Fourth that much more enjoyable:

  1. If you’re planning on spending a day on the lake, I recommend going out on your boat in the morning or evening. The middle of the day is going to be crowded with tons of other people – granted it’s not raining
  2. If you’re going to be around any body of water and happen to have little children in your general vicinity, be watchful. It only takes a split-second for them to fall under the surface
  3. If you’re driving somewhere, please be extra vigilant of other drivers – especially at night when people are bound to be drinking. It goes without saying that you should find a designated driver if you yourself decide to have a drink or three
  4. If you happen to be going somewhere where the rain has not been quite as constant, be careful about using fireworks around dry bush. Starting a wildfire isn’t a good experience to have on your resume
  5. Come visit us at the gym if you have nothing better to do. We’ll be there till 5!

Have a fun holiday, and take it easy!
