Everyone shared their 4th Of July celebrations.

Jet hosed an intimate backyard cookout. He has an incredible built-in brick grilling unit in his backyard that’s great for picnic entertaining.

Sherry YardSherry did some bike riding with her husband along the bike path in Manhattan Beach.

She also savored the beach view of all the fireworks festivities along the South Bay.

Producer Andy enjoyed the annual Community Celebration and Fireworks Spectacular in El Segundo (Mayberry by the Sea) in Recreation Park. It was a full day of festivities including a pie eating contest and a watermelon eating contest.

All the food booths were operated by El Segundo Community and school groups. The grilled hot dogs and hamburgers available before the fireworks show were prepared by the El Segundo Community & School Groups.

What’s a 4th of July without grilled hot dogs?  Congrats to fellow Californian, Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, winner for the 7th consecutive year of the Nathan’s Famous Coney Island Hot Dog Challenge. He set a new World Record of 69 hot dogs and buns consumed in 10 minutes!
