Home Page Here is the total of food we collected on the 4th.  It is amazing and shows why the people who live in Superior are Superior.  1735#'s of food and $205.00.  Thank you to all who participated.  This is a good shot in the arm for our local food shelves and the less fortunate in our community.

Lets fill our local food shelves like they have never been filled before.  If everyone who attended the parade, car show, and fireworks brought one item it would help so much.  Please find it in your heart to help your neighbor's by donating at least one perishiable food item.

This years theme:Neighbor's Helping Neighbor's.

We are asking that everyone, no matter if you are in the parade or just enjoying the parade, bring a non-perishable food item so we can help our local food shelves maintain a continious supply of food for the less fortunate in our community.

We are looking forward to another great Independance Day (July 4th)this year 2010 !!!!!

History
There was a time many years ago (13) that our wonderful city of Superior was like a ghost town on the 4th of July.  There was no parade, fire works or anything else to do but hang out.  Then it happened !  A small group of dedicated citizens had the idea of collecting donations so they could organize some events for the 4th so we had something to look forward to every 4th of July.  A small amount of money was raised, enough to send out mailers advertising our parade and looking for any and all to build a float, bring their horses or whatever they wanted to join the parade.  Next they decided to add a car show to the days activites and that turned out to be a huge success and still is.  Next was added the fireworks which seems to get bigger and better with each coming year.  That is a short history of how Superior's 4th of July came about and still today are some of the same people that started this event still working to make the 4th the special day that it is.
