The Fernley 4th of July committee is looking for volunteers to help with various activities of this year’s event.

Volunteers are needed in the free kids/family area, as well as in the fireworks sector and the parade.

The event begins with Mason’s pancake breakfast from 7-10 a.m. at the Mason Lodge at 40 West St. The cost is $7 per person for $25 per family and all donations go to fund high school scholarships.
