Constantine Village Council began planning Fourth of July activities, at its meeting April 19.
For the first time since 2010, Independence Day is on a Sunday. The parade, which usually begins at 11 a.m. on the 4th, is set for 2 p.m., in deference to morning church services.
Village manager Mark Honeysett said only a few other communities plan to feature a fireworks display in 2021 because of pendemic restrictions. He was told by the village insurance company it is permissible to have a both the parade and fireworks.
In other summer-activity news, St. Joe Valley Golf Club will host this year’s Chief James Bedell Memorial Fourth of July Fundraiser at 9 a.m. June 12, Honeysett said. In addition, the fire department is planning “Family Fun Day,” which includes a car show on East Water Street.
