CarmelFest
2008
in the Carmel Civic Square
July 3rd and 4th
For almost thirty years, the Carmel Community has come together
each year to celebrate our national and community heritage.
Through the Festival, Parade, Fireworks, the Freedom Run, and
the Freedom
Ball, a black tie social event, this year's theme of America
the
Beautiful will be exhibited throughout. The goal is to help preserve
those treasured traditions and the unique sense of American
community
that has made our nation so great. There will be great fun, music,
and excitement for all of us 'kids' of all ages. Come to the
SVHCI tent, including activities such as 'Ask the Doc', BP screenings
and free Medical ID Cards.
