Many will be out and about at area festivals. I know that most likely all of you will be at Franklin Fest at least one of the three days its running (today-Saturday), and will be enjoying a wonderful fireworks display on the 4th. It's these days during the summertime that perhaps we should take a larger look at our community's assets, and what brings people together. While Lions Legend Park isn't a part of the Milwaukee County Parks system, Franklin has several county parks within its borders: Froemming, Oakwood (with golf course), and parts of Whitnall (with golf course and the Wehr Nature Center).
Thanks to the blog Cognitive Dissidence, I came across this video made by Dan Cody, who is currently the President of The Park People. The Park People are dedicated to the continued preservation of the Milwaukee County Parks, and help the parks out in several ways. I encourage all of you to check out this video, and then to have a fantastic 4th of July!
