Rancho Bernardo's Spirit of the Fourth

Come on out to Rancho Bernardo's Spirit of the Fourth on the Fourth -- a good old fashioned Independence Day Celebration! This year's theme is "Salute the Troops—Honoring the Military Family."

I have a booth in the Community Fair section of the event which runs from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
The Location is Webb Park. Located west of Bernardo Center Drive between Bernardo Plaza Court and Iberia Place. (If you want to do a MapQuest or GPS, use 16766 Bernardo Center Drive, 92128)

If you don't see the J. Hilburn booth, go to the information booth and they will point you in the right direction. Here's an opportunity to see all the new merchandise, and be entered in a drawing for a luxury polo.

So, if you're around and looking for an activity earlier than fireworks during the day, head over to Spirit of the Fourth and say hello!
