freedom festival

We sure got a nice dose of summer Sunday, and the kids took full advantage. They got their swimsuits on, set-up both the kiddie pool and slip and slide, and there were water guns scattered all across the yard.  For my wife and I, it was a quick reminder summer is coming and we need to make sure we've got plenty of activities planned, outdoors.

So you've contemplated buying your ticket for the Thomas Dostal Developer's Freedom Festival concert on the 4th of July.  In case you need more incentive than the fact that you'll get an amazing concert, your Freedom Fest button, and a reserved seat for the best fireworks in Iowa without the hassle of fighting downtown crowds...

The 4th of July is the longest-running American-only holiday, for obvious reasons. Here are a few fun factoids about this great, American holiday.

With the big Thomas Dostal Developers Freedom Festival concert fast approaching, it's not a bad time to start dreaming about summer and all the food that comes with it!

I got the chance to talk with the people responsible for finding the Freedom Festival Medallion in the 3rd Annual hunt.  And while I was very impressed with this year's logo, what I really wanted to know is how they pieced the clues together.

We were told that when the Medallion Hunt ended, the Freedom Festival Schedule of Events would be released.  And since the Medallion was located earlier, and the winners were awarded today, the Freedom Fest crew has delivered the schedule to us.  Get ready for another amazing year, loaded with old favorites, and plenty of new things to look forward to.

Eric Paslay was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes as a boy, but he's refused to let it affect his life. He also hasn't forgotten those afflicted with the disease, even as his career continues to grow by leaps and bounds.

Eric Paslay will headline the KHAK & Thomas Dostal Developers Freedom Festival Concert July 4th!

The group A Thousand Horses only has one single, "Smoke". But the band from Nashville is already garnering lots of attention.

This 4th of July is going to be the biggest-ever for live music in Cedar Rapids.
