The heavy rainfall expected during the Fourth of July weekend won't completely wash the patriotic spirit out of Gwinnett County this week.

Forecasts call for 2 to 4 inches of rain — and a Flash Flood Watch — Wednesday, July 3, and Thursday, July 4, prompting some local organizers to re-think whether or not they'll hold parades, fireworks and live music.

Do you have a great indoor activity to share if the weather forces your Fourth of July celebration indoors?
Here's a quick look at what's on, what's postponed and what's still pending (as of 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 3):
