My home town of Jaffrey, New Hampshire gets together on the 4th of July at the Meeting House in Jaffrey Center and read out loud the entire Declaration of Independence. Many people volunteer to read and may read a sentence or more so that everyone who wishes can be a part of the reading. Every year, the audience is bigger! This celbration is followed by an Ice Cream social on the lawn of the "Old School House" that is now a museum. It is a wonderful tradition, so inspiring and I wish all towns would adopt such a wonderful tradition.
