I miss the Old Fashioned Independence Day celebration MSUM held until recently. It was great for the community, safe for kids, and easy on family's budgets. I'd like to get a group of like-minded people together to approach the city, chamber of commerce, or find commercial sponsorship and resurrect this festival. I'm even willing to put my time and money where my mouth is and chip in towards getting it started.

With so many parks in Moorhead and Fargo I hope we can work something out in regards to an inexpensive location. We'd need to organize a fair amount of volunteers in advance to aid in setting up, tearing down, and running the games/food stands. I imagine most of the cost coming down to food, prizes, bands, security, and permits.

I've never organized an event before but I'm ambitious and driven enough to try. Anyone else interested in helping?
