Dear [recipient's name]:
To celebrate our nation's independence, we are kicking off the day's events with a festive 4th of July parade this year. This fun event will be held on July 3rd at 10 a.m. The parade will begin from the neighborhood's traffic circle and will loop around the walking path.
Make sure you get your bike all decked out, because we will have several contests for most creative and festive decorations. There will be contests and prizes not just for bike decorations but also for creative red, white, and blue outfits. After the parade we will enjoy a neighborhood picnic and live music.
We hope you'll join us on July 3rd-see you then!
Sincerely,
[Signature]
