How To Get Your Backyard Ready For Fourth Of July

Fourth of July is just around the corner. This is a great holiday to spend time at your Lake of the Ozarks home. There are fireworks, concerts and fun community events happening all weekend long. If you're coming down to your home at the Lake of the Ozarks, here are a few things you can do to help prepare for your weekend festivities.

Clean Up The Porch

During Fourth of July, you will most likely spend a lot of time on your covered deck, so make sure it's ready for the holiday weekend. Pests love hanging out on porches as much as we do, but we don't want them hanging around for the festivities. Sweep up any debris that may have accumulated over the winter and spring months, clean up cobwebs, and if your porch has a table or chairs make sure those are wiped down for your guests.

Clean Barbeque Grill

There is no better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than barbecuing! Whether you're barbecuing for the first time this year or you've already got your grill out, it's a good idea to give it a good scrub down before using it this holiday weekend.

Create A Social Setting

During the summer months, you'll probably want to enjoy some time outside enjoying the beautiful view of the Lake of the Ozarks. When having company over, rearrange your outdoor furniture to a more social setting. If you have a firepit, placing the chairs around that is a great place to start. You'll want the chairs set up in a way where you can still easily interact, but still enjoy the beautiful view.

Get Yard Ready

If you'll be spending time outside, make sure your yard is cleaned up by mowing and ensuring that landscaping is taken care of. If you have walking paths, take a weed eater and clean up around them. In addition, make sure any debris from the past storms is cleaned up.

Get Creative With Lights

If you plan on your Fourth of July festivities lasting long into the night, you'll want to make sure you have plenty of lights. In addition to having walking paths lit up with path lighting, you may want to get more creative and place festive lights around the deck. The more light you have the more time you'll want to spend outside at night.

Keep Pests Off The Guest List

One downside to the summer months are the insects that come out to play. Make sure they're not invited to the festivities by taking preventative measures to ensuring your party is uninviting to pests. If you have any food out, make sure it's tightly covered, ensure any trash is placed into a sealed container and that the food prep area is cleaned well.

4th of July Fun Facts

The 4th of July is an important date in US History that represents our country's independence. With all the hustle and bustle at the Lake, sometimes its hard to remember what the holiday really means for us.  In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved and the 13 original colonies were on the road to freedom.  This holiday will forever be marked with red, white and blue flags, fireworks, parades and BBQs across the country!  Here are some fun facts about the 4th of July brought to you by Mission Bay and the US Census Bureau!

US Population 
In July 1776, an estimated 2.5 million people were living in the newly independent nation.  Today our population is estimated at nearly 318.4 million.  Look how we've grown!

Declaration of Independence Signers
The Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 different people, with representatives from each of the 13 original colonies.  Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman and Robert R. Livingston comprised the committee that drafted the Declaration, with Jefferson actually writing the majority of it.

Fireworks
In 2013, the value of fireworks imported from China was $203.6 million, representing the majority of all US fireworks imported.  By comparison, the number of fireworks exported by the US came to only $10.2 million in 2013.

US Flags
In 2013, $4 million worth of US flags were imported, most of them again made in China.  The dollar value of our flags exported was $781,222, with the Dominican Republic as the leading customer.

Patriotic Place Names
In our country, 59 places contain the word "Liberty" in their name.  Pennsylvania is home to more of these places than any other state with 11.  Indiana is the only place with the word "Patriot" in a place name.  The most common patriotic word used in place names is "union" with 136.  Pennsylvania also has more of these than any other state with 33.  Other popular words used in place names include Washington with 127, Franklin with 118 and Lincoln with 95.

4th of July BBQs 
The total estimated number of hogs and pigs as of March 1, 2014 is 62.9 million.  Chances are that the pork hot dogs and sausages you will consume on July 4th originated in Iowa, the home to an estimated 19.8 of those hogs and pigs.

The total estimated production of cattle and calves in Texas in 2013 was 6.1 billion pounds.  There's a goof chance that the beef hot dogs, steaks and burgers on your grill this 4th of July came from Texas, which accounts for nearly 1/6 of the nations total production.

Tracking numbers such as these allow us to know how our country is changing and growing, as well as how to make informed decisions about our country's future. The United States is a great place to live and so is the Lake of the Ozarks.  Come check out Lake living at its finest with gorgeous lake view and lakefront homes at the Lake of the Ozarks.  With the new improved Highway 5, Mission Bay is just minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, and more!
