We’re sure what with all of the “kicking it” that will happen this weekend there’s guaranteed to be some festive (and probably humorous – maybe somewhat embarrassing) pictures floating around on the Internet. We’d love to see them and share them with your copatriots.

So! Send your hi-res pictures to photoeditor@rvanews.com (the photo editor who doesn’t even know we’re doing this – ha!). We’ll be using the bestest* ones to put together a Richmond Fourth of July photo retrospective, if you will.

*Yes, I used “bestest.” It IS a free country, you know.
