Clark & Kendall’s Weekend Preview – June 28, 2012

Editor's Note: The Kiwanis fireworks display has been cancelled due to dangerous fire conditions in Los Alamos County. The 4th of July celebration at Overlook Park in White Rock will go on as planned, sans the fireworks, but all the other great activities will go on as schedule … so don't miss the great fun at Overlook Park on the 4th.
