🇺🇸 Thank You, Birch Run! 🇺🇸

The Village of Birch Run would like to extend a sincere thank-you to everyone who helped make this year’s Fourth of July Parade such a wonderful community celebration.

A special thank-you goes to our DPW team for their hard work preparing the Village for the parade, our Police Department and first responders for helping keep the event safe and organized, and the many businesses, volunteers, civic groups, and philanthropic organizations — including the Rotary — who organized and supported the parade.

Our community was filled with families, neighbors, visitors, and community spirit. What a great way to celebrate our Republic and the 250th birthday of the United States of America.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made the day so enjoyable. Birch Run is proud to celebrate together. 🇺🇸
