Celebrate the 4th of July
Our city hosts an annual community fireworks display which can be seen for miles. Huge crowds gather for the public fireworks show. Families picnic and bands play for hours before the display. Because we can view the fireworks display from our yard, we choose to stay on our own property.
We have a lot of great neighbors who enjoy celebrating the

4th of July by shooting their own fireworks prior to the main event. It is always fun to hear the laughter ring and the uh's and ah's as fireworks light the night sky. We consider the city display to be our grand finale.
For a few hours each year we feel like we are a part of a grand celebration where everyone is welcome and where we are all united.

1 12 oz. Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed
SLICE 1 cup of the strawberries; set aside.
Halve remaining strawberries; set aside
LINE bottom of 12 x 8 inch baking dish with cake slices. Top with 1 cup slices strawberries, 1 cup of the blueberries and all of the whipped topping.
PLACE strawberry halves and remaining 1/3 cup of blueberries on whipped topping to create flag design.
REFRIGERATE until ready to serve
Recommended Baking Dish
Either of these would be fine. The objective is to use a rectangle dish to replicate the shape of a flag
