The 29th annual Tabor City Fourth of July Fireworks celebration drew a large crowd to South Columbus High School on July 2 for a night of fun, food and fireworks. Families and friends showed their patriotism by shoot- ing fireworks and coming together as a community. “I love the event,” SCHS Stallionettes co-sponsor and science teacher Baleigh Fisher said. “I think it’s a good, safe place for families to bring their little ones because this is probably the only time they see fireworks.” Jennifer Taylor said she remembers the fireworks show taking place at Tabor City’s old football field before South Columbus was built. “After they moved it to South Columbus, I remember it being so crowded that we would just sit on the side of the road and watch the fireworks,” Taylor said. “This event builds a sense of community, and it was a chance to see your friends during the summer when school was out.” Taylor said that attendance has dwindled in the past few years, and she remembers when the bleachers were packed. She wanted people to know that this is a free event and wanted to clear up the misconception of an entrance fee to the show.

Audience members salute the flag or cover their hearts during the Pledge ofAllegiance before the fireworks show. uuSEE FIREWORKS 3A BARNES WAS MECHANIC, WILLIAMSON DROVE HEAVY TRUCK STATE HEALTH PLAN Barnes, Williamson helped maintain County could USA’s freedom in World War II save $750,000 By Allen Turner By Bob High the captain came down to the [email protected] [email protected] engine room.
