What better place to be on a steamy Fourth of July than on the beach at Jefferson Point?
The Lake Saint Louis Water Ski Club held their annual Fourth of July Ski Show on Wednesday. A huge crowd watched from under a garden of pop-up tents as skiers from beginning knee-boarders to elegant swivel skiers to a signature three-tiered pyramid team performed in the waters off Jefferson Point. The Ski Club is associated with the Lake Saint Louis Community Association. The club fields a competitive ski team called the Arch Rivals.

Fireworks will be popping on the Fourth, but where exactly is the best place to watch them?
The Fourth of July means a lot of different things to a lot of people. It's the birthday of the old U S of A, it's a day off work, it's a day to barbecue and, of course, it's a day for fireworks. When the sun goes down, the real show begins. Fireworks and the Fourth are a tradition that goes together like peanut butter and jelly. While firework shows around the area are being called off because of fire concerns, St. Charles County has made it through relatively unscathed. St. Charles, O'Fallon, Wentzville and Lake Saint Louis all have plans to light up the night sky during the Fourth. Growing up, I spent most of my Independence Days visiting my grandparents in Arkansas. My grandpa would grill up some delicious ribs and then we'd hit the…

Lake Saint Louis Police will confiscate illegal fireworks as contraband.
(The following press released was issued by the Lake Saint Louis Police Department.) The Lake Saint Louis Police Department reminds residents that except for authorized professional pyrotechnics displays conducted under the supervision of the police and fire departments, fireworks are prohibited within the city limits. Due to the heat and drought conditions the agency will be especially proactive in its response to violators. “It only takes one spark to start a fire,” said Chief Michael Force. “Playing with sparklers in the back yard may seem innocent enough, but it puts the community and its residents at risk. It’s our duty to enforce the ordinance and citizen cooperation is critical to ensure public safety.” Lake Saint Louis Police …

Missouri native David Nail headlines "Country Day" on July 3, while Vertical Horizon rocks it out July 4.
