Fourth Fest

Overview

Join us at Kingston Yard on July 4! We'll have activities all day long for everyone in the family, thanks to our sponsor Downtown CR!
Everything kicks off at noon for the annual Hot Dog Eating Contest! It is free to participate, but we do ask that you register in advance so we have an idea of how many hot dogs to make - https://forms.gle/bfBGfKqHXrjQrdez8.
