July 4th 2009 around Des Moines

Lookin' for something to do on the 4th of July? Maybe this will help. You can check out the Web sites for most cities and towns of Central Iowa for updates or try the selections below.

Neighborhood cleanup days 2009 (SCRUB)

Has anyone ever told you, "Clean up after yourself?" or "Get that thing out of here!"? Lately? Want to get rid of it free? I have just the information you have been waiting for! SCRUB Days are times and places that you can drop off stuff that you (or your loved one) want to be gone.

Jazz in July 2009

It's time! it's Des Moines it's summer it's hot and humid It must be time for Jazz in July, and it's free to all.

Free yoga at Gray's Lake

What could be better? * yoga * free * Gray's Lake (north side, park by the beach) * Saturday mornings from 9 am to 10 am * 17 weeks beginning June 6 and running through September 26 * a variety of instructors Sponsored by Des Moines Parks and Recreation the sessions are said to be beginner's classes (lucky for me). If you want to try it, wear loose fitting clothes and bring a mat, rug, or towel along with some water. You'll stand; you'll sit; you'll stretch and bend. It is not a competitive sport so you won't have to do anything and you don't have to do it perfectly (very lucky for me).

Find links below to 79 cities and towns within 50 miles of Des Moines. Most links are to city government sites, some are county sites, a few are Chambers of Commerce sites, seven are Wikipedia, and still fewer are data-only sites. They're the best I could find.
