We here at the SEC blog are taking the day and wishing all of our readers a very happy Fourth of July weekend!

Stay safe, grab your friends and family, go outdoors, grill some delicious food, and try to relax whenever you can.

The football season is nearing closer and closer, so take this weekend to recharge and be with some great people and great food. While you're at it, shoot off a firework or two and make some air art with a couple of sparklers!
