Great Idea, wish we'd thought of that

Independence Day
With the "4th of July" coming up soon, it's time to start thinking about how you can reach out to the unsaved in your community. Festivals are great locations for passing out tracts, witnessing one-on-one, and setting up booths. People at festivals are enjoying themselves and planning to stay a while... for this reason they will usually take time to talk to you. Most small towns have at least one fireworks show and a parade; in some larger cities you may be able to attend 3 or 4 fireworks shows. It's easy to pass out patriotic tracts if you simply start walking through the crowd saying, "Happy Independence Day," "God bless America," or even "Help save America," as you give them out. If anyone seems particularly friendly, stop and chat with him a little bit, and then take him through the Gospel. Your church may even consider getting a booth where you can offer something free (like popsicles, cups of ice water, or free face painting for children) and then take the people through the Gospel. This would also be a wonderful opportunity to open air preach to the crowd!

I have said this for years, our tracts have no imagination. We should make more tracts like this for other outreach chances
