Today is Canada Day and Tuesday is Independence Day in the U.S. These holidays are traditionally celebrated with picnics and fireworks.


Please be sure to observe safe practices with your food. Anything that can spoil easily such as mayonaise, salad dressings, egg salads, potato salads, etc. should be kept cold and discarded if they become too warm.

Use plenty of sunscreen and reapply it as directed. If it says it's not for use on your face, don't use it on your face. It can melt and run into your eyes and burn or cause damage. Use a facial sunscreen.

Drink plenty of liquids. Water is the best source. Sodas, alcoholic beverages, coffe and teas can be dehydrating.

Stay cool and don't over heat. Try to stay in a shady spot or bring an umbrella.

Finally, leave the fireworks to the professionals. Enjoy the aerial fireworks displays.

Happy summer holidays!
