The theme for the 43rd Annual Spirit of the Fourth is “Salute the Troops – Honoring the Military Family” and will celebrate today’s youth and their future impact. On July 4 at 7 a.m. Webb Park and the Knights of Columbus will host a pancake breakfast and community fair, the Wheels of Freedom Motor Show, games, children’s activities, stage entertainment, vendors and an Art Walk. An annual ceremony hosted by local veterans at the Rancho Bernardo Veterans Memorial will feature the Spirit of 1776 Bell Ringers. A parade will take place lining Acena Drive, Rancho Bernardo Road and Bernardo Center Drive. The evening will then move over to Bernardo Heights Middle School where last year’s American Idol contestant, Kristi Krause, will perform at 6 p.m., followed by the 2012 RB Idol contest winners. Sara and Sean Watkins of the Grammy award winning band Nickel Creek will wrap up the evening before fireworks launch at 9 p.m.
