See St. Joseph: Fourth of July celebrations in full swing

Fourth of July celebrations are underway all weekend long in St. Joseph. Whether you’re kicking back with a movie or kicking boots at a concert, News-Press NOW has all you need for holiday celebrations in this week’s edition of See St. Joseph.

When our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence from England, it’s safe to say they didn’t imagine having to claim it against alien encounters. Luckily, the Trail Theatre will be playing “Independence Day” so St. Joseph can better plan, just in case. In the movie, on July 2, a giant alien mothership enters orbit around Earth and deploys several dozen saucer-shaped “destroyer” spacecraft that quickly lay waste to major cities around the planet. On July 4, a plan is devised to gain access to the interior of the alien mothership in space. Come celebrate the Fourth of July with the sci-fi film, “Independence Day” all weekend long starting at 7 p.m. Friday at the Trail Theater. Tickets can be purchased at the counter or online at www.thetrailtheatre.com/movie/independence-day.
