While their pre-taped performance of "Only in America" airs on ABC's Fourth of July special, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn will be celebrating the holiday with their families. Brooks' family is headed to a rented boat on the ocean, while Dunn will host a barn dance at his Nashville home. "The neighbors come over ... and it's just exactly like everybody else is doing across the country," Dunn says. "In a year like this, it's good to remember the communities we all have, because that's what makes this country strong. Families, friends, neighbors -- and a good healthy dose of cooking outdoors!" 07/03/02
