Polson Seniors: Bombs bursting in midair signals Fourth

Happy Birthday, USA!! Fireworks at the fairgrounds on July 3, starting at about 10-ish. Just listen for the bombs bursting into the air.

If you have pets that are skittish then you will know the routine. I use sound deadening devices (a pillow) to get to sleep.

I sure enjoy watching other people’s money go up in smoke. Don’t open your windows until the smoke clears.

The Senior Center will be closed on Friday, July 3, and reopen Monday, July 6, so no bingo or exercise class on Friday.

We have air-conditioned space for two or more to meet and greet. Socialize with your friends without having to clean up after them.
