Dorchester's Fourth Celebration Offers Full Day Of Activities

Anyone from the area can attest that Dorchester has one of the very best small-community July 4th celebrations in the region. Residents and visitors alike will find plenty of things to do in Dorchester, without the crowds of Seward or Lincoln. Of course, the highlight of the day comes after dark with the famous fireworks show, which has been pleasing crowds for 16 years. This year's celebration, set for Sunday, is sure to be another crowd pleaser. Highlights will include:

Church services at city park ........ 9:30-10:30 a.m.

Raffles, pie and ice cream, Legion Hall ........... 11 a.m.

Sons of the American Legion pork feed .......... 11 a.m.-7 p.m.

Saline County Museum open .......... noon to 6 p.m.

Tractor/car show on main street ............. 1 p.m.

Bingo at community building .......... 2:30 p.m.

Parade ................ 7 p.m.

Fireworks .............. 10 p.m.

For more information on the events and schedule, call Steven Ottmann at (402) 946-4821. Becuase Dorchester's first-class Fourth celebration depends on private support, area residents and friends of Dorchester are encouraged to send their donations to:
