Get ready for a spectacular 4th of July as the Franklin Chamber of Commerce finalizes plans for our annual Independence Day celebration. The 4th of July Fireworks & Fun Day will be held at the Macon County Veterans Memorial Recreation Park just south of Franklin off U.S. 441 on Thursday, July 4. Activities will begin in the park at 1 p.m. and conclude at dark with a fireworks show. The day will begin at 1 pm with the all new “KidZone” including Cinderella Carriage Bounce House & Slide, Farm Land Toddler Inflatable play area, World of Sports Inflatable, games, prizes and more sponsored by the Christian Training Center International. Unlimited, all day play wristbands will be available for $5 for children 2 – 12 years old. Older kids and adults will enjoy the “Radar Speed Pitch” and “Basketball Hoop” Competition for only $1. Be the fastest pitcher or hold the record for the most consecutive hoops and you will win a $50 gift card from the Factory. T and J Entertainment will be on hand to provide great music and fun at 3pm with karaoke beginning at 5 pm. New this year, 50/50 tickets will be sold all day at the gates and at the Chamber’s booth and the winner will receive half of the pot. The winning ticket will be drawn around 9:30 pm from the stage and you must be present to win. Don’t forget the Bulls Eye Ball Drop, sponsored by Smoky Mountain Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM. Numbered golf balls will be dropped from the top of the ladder firetruck high in the sky. The closest ball to the center of the bulls eye on the baseball field will win $500. The balls will be dropped around 9:30 pm. Balls can be purchased at the Chamber tent in front of the baseball field for $5 each or 3 for $10. Be sure to purchase your golf balls early before we sell out. The Presentation of Colors will take place just after 9:00 pm followed by a salute to all Branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. The National Anthem will be presented by The Isaacs and will lead into the fireworks display. This year’s fireworks will feature a high level show only. Plans are to bring the ground level show back next year. What’s the 4th without great food? This year will be no exception! You will find plenty of tasty treats like hamburgers, BBQ, hot dogs, funnel cakes, kettle korn, ice cream and fresh lemonade. There’s sure to be something for everyone. Two buses will shuttle continuously from Franklin High School’s parking lot to the Recreation Park beginning at 5 pm. There will be four buses running after the fireworks to help get folks back to their cars as quickly as possible. Since no parking is allowed along Wide Horizon Drive and across the road at Ingles. Everyone is encouraged to use the shuttle. For more information about upcoming events visit www.VisitFranklinNC.com or contact the Franklin Chamber of Commerce at 828-524-3161.
