On July 4, 1776, the United States officially declared independence from Britain—a bold, historic moment born from years of rising tensions, unfair taxes, and growing frustration with Parliament. Though the Continental Congress voted for separation on July 2, it was on the 4th that the Declaration of Independence was formally adopted and proclaimed to the world. Drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson, this revolutionary document wasn’t just a political statement—it was a declaration of self-determination that set the stage for a new nation. The actual signing came later, on August 2, but July 4 remains the day etched in history, celebrated every year as the birth of American independence.

Happy 4th of July! - A message of Corey

A devastating storm tore through Lake Geneva, claiming three young lives when a boat capsized on the lake, while winds and flooding ripped through neighborhoods from Sharon to Como, leaving downed power lines, scattered debris, and homes damaged by fallen trees. In Sharon, a silo collapse injured motorists, and nearly 7,400 residents lost power. Cleanup crews are racing to restore electricity and clear wreckage as communities grapple with the aftermath and begin the long road to recovery.
