It is hard to believe that the 66th annual Catonsville parade and fireworks will occur in 160 days.
The Catonsville Fourth of July Committee is tasked with raising $100,000 between now and July 4.
Once again, we are calling on all Catonsville residents to assist us with fundraising.
A great way to help and have fun is to buy tickets for the yearly Dance for the Fourth, which will be held Saturday, March 3, from 8 p.m. to midnight at the Catonsville Armory.
Playing old favorites and contemporary music, Appaloosa, will provide fabulous tunes for dancing.
We also need donations for the silent auction.
This event is usually a sellout, so purchase a ticket soon.
Tickets are available at http://www.catonsvillecelebrations.org or by calling DyAnn at 410-746-9828.
We have dozens of volunteer opportunities, which can be viewed on our website.
Last year, we made a modest profit of $7,000 because residents pitched in.
Make 2012 the year you decide to get involved in the greatest event in Catonsville. Make a donation today.
