I do not understand why Quincy does not celebrate the 4th of July. I know that we have the High Sierra Music Festival at the fairgrounds but we have parks that we could use. Even an arts and crafts fair like we used to have would be nice.
I agree as well. I moved up here just under four years ago and part of the reason I moved up here was the small town feel. But that small town feel has dwindled. There’s nothing in Dam Shirley park anymore. And am I wrong but is Sparkle the only celebration, besides, the prom parade, we have in downtown Quincy?
What can we do to draw people to come out and support this sweet town and our many artisans? My 92 year old friend agrees.
Quincy has the County fair, July 27, 28, 29 and 30. Downtown parade sponsored by Chamber of Commerce on Saturday morning July 29. Usually a pancake breakfast before the parade sponsored by the Quincy Fire Department.
