The countdown is on for our 3rd Annual Festival of Stars.  We'll open the festivities on Friday, July 1st with a live remote.  Pat Patterson of Sunny 103.5 will start us off with a really "Large Time" from 4:30 - 6:30pm.   The Rock "N" Roll Cruisers will be on hand to show off their classic cars and at 6:30 we have our opening ceremonies.  Our reigning Miss Festival of Stars and her court will be on hand; we'll have Shag Attack playing your favorite shaggin' tunes and Big Al Davis is setting up a childrens' fun zone to keep the younger set occupied.  We'll also have 96 Scout Troop 53 who will conduct our Flag Retirement. This is a very moving ceremony which is performed at dusk. 

 

Saturday is a day filled with family oriented fun.  A "y'all come" parade is scheduled at 10:00.  Enter your decorated little red wagons, bicycles, golf carts, etc.  We're gonna have the Saluda Shrine Club Hillbillies and the 96 4H Club Horse Team.  Contact Diane @ 543-2047 to be assigned a free parade entry number. 

We have Craft and Food vendors who have something for everyone.  96 Has Talent and we're going to showcase it beginning at 10:30.  Two stages are going to be set up and we'll start with the 96 Pentacostal Holiness Church Choir.  We have a great line-up to follow until when, at 6:00, we'll showcase The Dave and Joe Show who lead in to The Out of Towners Band.  They'll take a break at about 9:30 for the LARGEST FIREWORKS EXTRAVAGANZA IN THE LAKELANDS and then return long enough to wish you a Very Happy and Safe Independance Day.
