Milam County 4th of July Celebration will kick off on the square in downtown Cameron at 4 PM. Join us with your family and friends to celebrate our Independence Day in America. 
 
Activities for the event begin at 4 PM with a Kids Zone with games sponsored by local businesses. Some games include a water slide, balloon toss, duck pond, and more. Kids may play games in the Kid Zone all day with a $5 wristband purchase. 
 
Citizens National Bank will be on hand with hot dogs, and Central Ave Bistro will have lemonade in the Kid Zones for kids only. Edward D. Jones is sponsoring the Water Slide. Oncor and Atmos Energy will have games, and Masters Martial Arts will be there with demonstrations. Milam County AgriLife will have a duck pond and more. Businesses still have time to sign up for additional activities. 
 
A dunking booth will be on hand with an opportunity to dunk local personalities, a great way to cool off! So, line up for fun! Have someone who you would like to see dunked contact the Cameron Chamber!
