Here's the last remaining July 4th program from Dave and Linda Ramsay. It's for the 1976 bicentennial celebration of our country's independence.

On July 4th, 2016 Borough Mayor John Dominy presented WHS President Charlie Horan this plaque for the WHS Museum. The plaque was from the Liberty Tree which was downed in the park by the June 2015 mega-winds.

Many thanks to Jeff Wentzell for contributing this program to the WHS Museum collection.

The activities for the 1972 July 4th celebration look similar to those of the previous decade and a half --- the married men and single men square off in a softball game, and the Original Hobo Band plays the evening concert in the park. However, there is one notable difference from the previous years --- Margie's Luncheonette, a favorite of many, is absent from the list of contributors.
