This year’s celebration slogan is “Proud to be an American” and the media release says it’s “Friday the Fourth… for floats, food, fun and a free fireworks show!”
Organizers are seeking a young lady and young man, ages 8-14, to be crowned “Little Miss Spirit” and “Little Mr. Firecracker” in celebration of the anniversary of our nation’s independence.
Contestants will need to tell the judges why they are “proud to be an American.”
There will be a $50 cash prize awarded to each winner, and judging will be Monday, June 30th, with the winners announced on Tuesday, July 1st.
Also, there will be a parade downtown. Applications for parade entrants will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 3rd.
