Happy Fourth of July!

On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress, setting the 13 colonies on the road to freedom as a sovereign nation.  As always, this most American of holidays will be marked by parades, fireworks and backyard barbecues across the country.  Here in State College we have one of the country's most Spectacular Firework displays.  There will be events, music and more up and around Beaver Stadium all day on Saturday.
