Get ready for the Fourth

Jonathan’s annual Fourth of July festivities are just around the corner.

The Friday, July 4 events begin with an 8:30 a.m. Fun Run. The 5K course winds through the trails of Jonathan and is open to all to run/walk/or stroll. Meet at the Kindergarten Center/Jonathan General Store parking lot on Village Road to register from 8 a.m.-8:15 a.m. Free T-shirts for all participants.

The Kiddie Parade is at 11 a.m. This is the 36th year of Jonathan’s Kiddie Parade, a two block long parade for the whole family. Dress up and/or decorate bikes, trikes, wagons and pets. A fire truck and police escort will lead the group safely from Jonathan General Store to the Jonathan Association office (Karen House) at 111000 Bavaria Road.

Karen House activities begin at 11:15 a.m., at the end of the parade, where refreshments include free orange drink and ice cream for the kids, and popcorn for everyone. There will be pony rides, petting zoo, a giant slide, bouncy house, magician/balloon artist, face painting, temporary tattoos and a watermelon eating contest. The Jonathan Association will provide hot dogs, chips, and beverages.

The city of Chaska fireworks begin at dusk. The best viewing is from McKnight Park/Jonathan Elementary/Jonathan Square/Home Depot parking lots.

To volunteer for the activities, contact the Karen House at (952) 448-4700.
