But for those still situated in the lower 48, your LakeCountyEye recommends observing some sensible precautions. Every town and TIF district has a parade scheduled, so don't overdo it. Operatives are advised to march in no more than 10 parades on the Fourth -- 12 max. Always bully your way to the head of the parade line-up, especially on those 100+ degree days. In between parades, don't forget to hydrate. And your LakeCountyEye recommends the Route 53 extension for shaving some precious minutes off that dash between municipalities. Finally, nothing makes a mess like a trunk full of Tootsie Rolls and Hershey Kisses -- make sure to fling hardcandy at the kiddies whenever the mercury tops 110.

Follow these simple commonsense precautions and your LakeCountyEye guarantees you many more future Fourth of July parades to come!
