On this day, July 4, 2025, we pause as a community and as proud Americans to celebrate the birth of a nation forged by courage, conviction, and a relentless pursuit of liberty. As flags wave from porches in Placerville, Cameron Park, Pollock Pines, and beyond, we are reminded of the sacred promise made 249 years ago in the Declaration of Independence: that all are created equal, endowed by their Creator with the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We are more than just a local business—we are your neighbors, your friends, and your fellow patriots. Whether you’re flipping burgers in the backyard or heading to the El Dorado County Fairgrounds for a community celebration, know that your freedom is worth honoring every day—not just with fireworks, but with kindness, courage, and community spirit.
As President Ronald Reagan once said,
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on.”
That charge doesn’t rest solely on soldiers or politicians. It lives in all of us—on Main Street, in classrooms, in churches, and across our hometown hills.
Let this Independence Day be more than a holiday. Let it be a renewal. A moment to look around, give thanks, and recommit to the values that make El Dorado County strong: hard work, integrity, and neighborly pride.
From all of us at News InEDC, thank you for letting us be part of this vibrant American story. Happy Independence Day—may your skies be clear, your hearts full, and your freedom cherished.
