America is turning 250 on July 4th and we are here to help you get the most out of your celebration with things you can checkout for free with your library card!
First things first, if you want to have a great 4th of July celebration you're going to need the best snacks. And the best snacks need to be elevated (literally). We have a Folding Table fit for the job!
Since you're putting out the best snacks they probably aren't going to last long and your guests are going to get unruly unless you direct their attention elsewhere.
So clear the snack remnants from the table and set up the ping pong net from our Ping Pong Set and make Grandma regret she came to your party!
And while you teach Grandma a lesson, your other guests can play any number of the lawn games you checked out from our library of things.
Wait, you actually went and upset your grandma? I was clearly kidding when I said to play her in ping pong and make her regret she came to your party! How barbaric and unamerican of you! Now you owe her a game of Mahjong.
Alright, so you and Grandma are friends again—even though she kind of destroyed you in Mahjong (embarrassing). That's great because it's America's birthday and every birthday needs a cake! And who better to help you make that cake than good ol' Grandma!
We've got a variety of cake pan molds in different shapes and sizes to choose from. The only question is which one suits America the best? Is it a Guitar Cake Pan to celebrate our rich musical history? Or maybe you make a series of stars of using the Mini Star Cake Pan, because of course!
Explore our cake pans to make the perfect birthday cake for America.
With the cake in the oven and the mosquitos out, take the party indoors for some family friendly board games!
Once everyone is done playing board games, it's time to get ready for the fireworks. Hopefully you don't make anyone else cry because you simply have to play every game like it's Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. It's okay, we all cope in different ways. Some of us by shouting "in your face Timmy!" to our little cousin who just learned the tried and (sometimes) true "i before e" at school this week (you), and others by shouting Celine Dion songs in their car with the windows down (me). The point is, we have a Folding Chair fit for the King of the first (and last) 4th of July Family Game Night to watch the fireworks from.
Woweee were those fireworks exciting! To be safe, you can have everyone check their blood pressure quick with the Blood Pressure Monitor before keeping the party going.
Oh you thought the party was over? No way! America didn't make it to 250 years old for you to go to bed before 11. Put a movie on the Inflatable Screen & Projector, grab some popco—and you've fallen asleep.
Happy Birthday America!
