The Fourth of July is this upcoming Monday and Lake Shelbyville is ready and prepared to celebrate along with the rest of the community. But one thing that they want kept in mind during the holiday weekend is being safe no matter how someone decides to celebrate. Phil Manhart, Assistant Manager at Lake Shelbyville, said this weekend is the busiest weekend of the year at the lake, and safety is their number one priority.

Manhart said the lake has a lot of activities planned for the weekend, including a movie, and reptile program Sunday night, being in a parade on Monday, and fireworks Monday night.
