3/16/14 - Highland residents can look forward to a new summer event now that Sparks in the Park has burned out. When major sponsors pulled out of the annual celebration, Sparks in the Park organizers were unable to come up with the money needed to hold the event. However, rather than let that weekend be a blank spot on the calendar, a group of Highland Township citizens has organized the Red, White, and Blues Festival and Barbeque for June 28th in Highland Townshipâs Veterans Park. According to the Milford Times, the event will include a kidsâ zone, a beer tent, live music, and a barbeque competition. This kind of celebration will not require the professional pyrotechnics and hefty insurance coverage that the fireworks festival would have needed. The final details are still in the works and sponsors are still being sought. (TD)
