Fourth of July

Yes, we're having a heatwave in the Yakima Valley. In fact, the heatwave has struck all throughout the Pacific Northwest region. We've seen record high temperatures in Seattle, Portland, Tri-Cities, and Yakima to name a few places.

One of the events, which so many of us look forward to each year, is the 4th of July festivities at State Fair Park. Well. it's coming back in a big way this year and there's so much fun to be had, it's going to take THREE DAYS of fabulous fun to take it all in!

The Central Washington State Fair, events such as the 4th of July fireworks & festivities, and a return of a drive-in food festival, all have an official go-ahead to help this community to get back to normal.

Well, that was one for the books. Amid the unusual circumstances due to the unprecedented pandemic we've all been held captive by, the 4th of July holiday weekend has come and gone. How did you celebrate? I know of many people who just hunkered down at home - while others, like some of my family and I, hit the road...

The entire sky is lit up for the 4th of July, and I think most want to keep it that way. The Moxee Police Department wanted to remind you of a few rules when it comes to lighting off fireworks in Moxee. If this rule is broken too many times by too many different people, there's a good chance that this year may be the last...

Although some towns in our area don't allow the lighting of fireworks, there are some that still do. It's always a hazard to deal with anything as unpredictable once it's lit but there are a few things you should know before doing so. Only buy fireworks from licensed vendors...

Independence Day! The 4th of July! Yankee Doodle Dandy! Grill me some MEAT! Yes, it is our great nation's 244th Birthday. May I say, we don't look a day over 220, 230 tops. This year, 2020, has been, as we all know, a very big challenge...

Masks. Are you tired of hearing about them? Tired of talking about them? Tired of wearing them? Well, you're not alone, but this whole Covid thing isn't over yet - and the heat is on to comply with the Governor's call to 'Mask Up to Open Up'...

It's that time of year again. Time for warmer weather, barbecues, outdoor recreation, longer days and - fireworks! But, hold on - it could very well be that it's illegal where you live. Every year, in the lead-up to the 4th of July Celebration and seemingly days afterward, the sound of exploding rockets can be heard and the sight of red glare in neighborhoods where the setting off of firecrackers

I need to ask your patience for a moment as I do some soul searching. You see, I never thought I'd be one of those people who takes copious pictures of their plates of food - and then post them on the internet. I mean, the occasional perfect meatloaf deserves to be seen or the brisket that came out of the smoker perfectly or perhaps the replication of my Mom's award-winning potato salad... Read Mo

You know what I really love about summertime? Yeah, pretty much everything! The sun, warm temps, three-day weekends at Lake Chelan or on a remote golf course and naturally, outdoor cooking. Outdoor grilling, barbecuing, smoking and outdoor entertaining is something I love year-round but there's no time better than summer...

It's all happening at Carlon Park in Selah! Join Gunner & Cheyenne as they broadcast LIVE and host the main stage. Listen to the fireworks soundtrack on 92.9 The Bull!
