Vernon's DJ and Karaoke will play at the CQ Bar & Grill, and the street dance with Josh Kerr begins at 9 p.m. It is sponsored by Shorty's and proceeds from the beverages and food sold during the dance will be donated to Lambert Fire Department.

The 4th starts with the Praise Church Service at 9 a.m. at the Lambert Senior Center.

Those wanting to enter the parade are to start lining up at Nortana Grain Co. at 10:30 a.m., with the bike parade down Main Street starting at 10:50 a.m. The main parade will begin at 11 a.m. with a military fly-over by the MT Air National Guard and the National Anthem.
