5 Things to Know for July 1

1. Holiday weekend tip: The Patch wishes all of its readers a fun and safe holiday. And since fire works conclude the evening, we would like to extend a tip of caution: avoid using fire works that are packaged in brown paper, as these are designed for commercial use only.   

 2. Upper Southampton Township: The Township advises the community to be mindful of the required fees pertaining to renovation, alterations and new construction. Be in the loop and up to date and review this form.

3. Billboard Number One: Today in 1974, “Rock the boat” by The Hues Corporation topped the charts. Click here to listen to this hit.

4. Ready for your family barbeque? Bring a patriotic and sweet treat. Check here for several confection ideas. I personally like the fruit flag.  

5. The Sierra Club is well-aware that uninvited visitors like insects have a tendency to crash your barbeques. Instead of using bug repellents that are laden with harmful chemicals, use lemon eucalyptus.
