The City Council of Cottonwood Falls is interested in celebrating the 250th Anniversary of America. The city is working with the Chase County Offices and the Chase County Chamber in ordering new banners for the 4th of July Celebration and Semi-quincentennial Celebration. The 4th of July Fireworks Celebration will be on Friday, July 3rd, 2026.
We are hoping to have community volunteers, Chase County Jr-Sr. High School, Chase County Elementary School, and local businesses and corporate businesses share the celebration with the City of Cottonwood Falls downtown businesses.
We are asking if local community members would volunteer in a leadership role to organize committees with committee chairs, for events for the celebration on July 3rd.
We have been given a list of ideas from the community members for some events that you, family members , organizations, schools, and clubs may contribute to. Business members and corporate businesses may want to participate in contributions and volunteering to make the event a success.
Committees would organize a parade, entertainment, games, scavenger hunt , ice cream social, other items mentioned- a history presentation of our county, community, and/or a short presentation on the history of America and the State of Kansas.
