Raccoon State Recreation Area will hold its annual Beach Bash and Fireworks Display, July 4. 

Festivities begin at 10 a.m. with a sand sculpture contest for children of all ages. Bring a bucket and shovel to the beach to see who can create the best sand sculpture. Games, including tug of war and a water balloon toss, begin at 1 p.m.

Visitors are invited to cap off the day with an evening of fireworks, beginning at dusk.  The fireworks are co-sponsored by Raccoon SRA, Bellmore Volunteer Fire Department and the Raccoon Lake/Union Township Property Owners Association. 

The cost of the fireworks is supported solely by donations from the community and park visitors. Anyone interested in helping to defray the costs of the fireworks display may contact Mike Clingerman, Raccoon SRA property manager or Sam Arthur, interpretive naturalist, at (765) 344-1412.
