You'll likely be enjoying some quality beach, boating or general outside time so be sure you check out our information on sun safety. ​​Fourth of July weekend is also one of the most popular times to grill out so be sure you keep things food safe with this information from our friends at NC State Extension's Safe Plates Program.
