Some reader involvement ideas for your Fourth of July coverage:

-- PHOTOS: There is so much to photograph for this holiday, consider specifying what you're looking for from readers. Focus your callout on asking for photos of weekend family outings or reunions, parades, fireworks shows, festivals, even pets in costume.

-- POLL: What are you grilling? July 4 is the No. 1 holiday for hot dogs, but burgers, brats, ribs and other meats are sure to be on your readers' grocery lists as well.

-- RECIPES: Reader recipes are a natural fit for the Fourth. Ask for readers' grill go-tos, dessert favorites, sides and salads, and drink concoctions. Run them in your food sections next week, and in your Saturday editions if needed.
