Oregon Coast Fourth of July Preview, 2013

Published 06/10/2013

(Oregon Coast) – An enormous array of Fourth of July celebrations are in store for this year's Independence Day along the Oregon coast. Some don't even celebrate theirs on the fourth, but rather the third or even July 6. Some don't have fireworks but one has fire dancers.
