Creative Kingdom would like to invite one and all in Chiang Mai to the annual 4th of July USA Independence Day Celebration. We are pleased to have been asked and given the privilege of organizing and hosting the 2011 event for the community. This is one of the most important celebrations for US citizens, at home or abroad, and Creative Kingdom wanted to make sure this celebration continued in Chiang Mai.

An entry ticket gives you the opportunity to buy some good eats from THE DUKE'S RESTAURANT, MIGUEL'S CAFE, & THE STEAK HOUSE folks... there will also be all of the traditional activities like music, dancing and live entertainment, games, a raffle with thousands of dollars in prizes, and of course fireworks! There will also be a mini entertainment and play area for all the children. So come out and enjoy this most American of celebrations!

Event Details at: http://www.4julychiangmai.ckachiangmai.com/

TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW at the following locations:

• "THE DUKE'S"
• "MIGUEL'S CAFE" <Hangdon>

TICKETS WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE AT THE GATE on the day of the event.

Entry ticket prices are as follows:

ADULT – 160 BAHT / CHILD – 80 BAHT / CHILD (under 6) – FREE

NOTE: Proper ID will be required to enter the event; passport (US & foreign citizens) and ID (Thai citizens)

We would like to thank event sponsors COCA-COLA, SINGHA, THE DUKE'S, MIGUEL'S CAFE, & THE STEAK HOUSE for all of their generous support this year.

Kind regards and we hope to see you all there!!

Folks we've heard several times over the last few days that the annual "4TH OF JULY" celebration at the old sports stadium has been cancelled "due to the rainy season" and postponed to February. Please rest assured this is NOT THE CASE... THE EVENT AT THE STADIUM IS STILL ON, RAIN OR SHINE.

This confusion seems to mostly stem from an official notice sent out by US CONSUL-GENERAL'S OFFICE for THEIR yearly INVITATION ONLY reception at the US CONSULATE, not the open-to-the-public "4TH OF JULY" event/picnic at the old stadium.

So again, the ”4TH OF JULY" picnic/event hosted and sponsored by Creative Kingdom at the Chiang Mai Municipal Stadium has NOT BEEN canceled.

Thank you!!
