Our first official gathering will be at Sarah’s and Bo’s home and lawn.   Enjoy yard games, head out for a walk, find a quiet spot and take in the natural beauty of their property. Beverages begin flowing at 4; casual catered meal at 6. At dusk, we’ll head creekside for a Spiritual Service, Borgerding stories and a bonfire (if permitted).

Enjoy the wonderful amenities at Sarah’s and Bo’s: the yard, the creek, the sundecks, nearby hiking trails. Meet there and head out for a group activity–hiking, biking, exploring town, so many possibilities. Or just hang out and relax and visit with family. Don’t miss the barbeque dinner at 6. And always, yard games, family fun and frosty beverages abound!

Be part of Red Lodge’s most popular community event by helping to carry the American flag in the 4^th of July Parade. But this isn’t just any flag—this epic flag requires several dozen carriers! Sarah, as Executive Director of the Red Lodge Fire & Rescue Foundation, leads the effort to carry it unfurled along Main Street’s mile-long parade route. All Borgerdings—young and old—are invited to participate in this festive and patriotic event. Dress in your favorite red, white and blue garb and honor the many Borgerding family members who have fought to preserve our freedoms!

Don’t want to walk or carry the flag? No worries, find a spot along the route to watch the festivities—especially the exciting flyover by Bo and a Borgerding! (We’ll draw a name from the Friday barbeque attendees to see which lucky sucker gets to accompany Bo in his vintage WW2 plane during the parade flyover!)

After the parade, we’ll gather at Ewald’s hangar. Bring a picnic meal for your group. Tables, chairs and drinks provided. Enjoy plane rides (weather permitting), the Borgerding slideshow, vintage planes and cars, and more. Watch fireworks at dusk from the hangar deck and/or other spots around town.
