"We are thrilled to announce these new Independence Day events, which are made possible by the generosity of Yankee Ferry owners and artists Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs. For years, Victoria and Richard have supported the efforts of Integrity House's Gala Committee and are now coordinating the July 4th events with the Committee," said David Kerr, Founder and President of Integrity House. "We anticipate a wonderful showing, and hope to make this an unforgettable weekend for all attendees.
