FREEDOM FESTIVAL
Come one come all. Join us for an exciting day of rides, games, and family activities at the Onslow Pines Park on July 4th, 2007. The park is located at 1244 Onslow Pines Road just outside of Jacksonville. To get there, take Highway 17 south past the Marine Corps Air Station New River, turn right at the Harley Davidson store.

The New River Foundation will be manning the concession stands throughout the day. Stop by to get your ice cold drinks, Italian Ice, Nachos, Hot Dogs and more. Take a moment and visit our Foundation members and The New RiverKeeper and find out how you can get involved. Don't forget to leave a donation to help support the efforts to keep your waterways clean.
