Round Top Fourth of July Plans Underway
The countdown to the annual Fourth of July parade is on. Activities begin at the Round Top Town Square at 10 a.m. The cannon will go off at 10:30 a.m. to signal the start of the parade. Special precautions are being taken to ensure safety and fun for everyone. For more information on upcoming events, checkout the Round Top Chamber of Commerce website at www.roundtopchamber.com.
The parade will wrap-up at the Round Top Rifle Hall.

All dinners will be packaged and distributed in to-go containers. Outside tables will be available, following social distancing guidelines at that date and sanitation stations will be available on the grounds. The safety of guests is of utmost importance and the members of the Rifle Hall Association are taking every precaution. More information can be found on the Hall’s website at www.roundtoprifle.com.
