This week, we printed a swath of local events, taking place right here, in Hunt County. Here are a few of them:
Audie Murphy Days: From June 24-25, celebrate local war hero Audie Murphy at the Fletcher Warren Civic Center and the Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum. Enjoy speakers, presentations, a concert, chili, and a candlelight remembrance.
For the Fourth of July, several Hunt County communities are sponsoring Independence Day celebrations. Greenville will host its annual Patriotic Picnic at the Greenville Sports Park on July 4th, with festivities to include a 5k run, lots of family fun activities, live music, and, of course, fireworks!
The City of Commerce will also host its annual Fourth of July festivities on the 4th, with bike parade, Kidpalooza, softball game, and fireworks at 9:30pm.
Lake Tawakoni will be celebrate the Fourth at the West Tawakoni State Park on Sunday, July 3rd. The fun begins at 4pm and lasts until midnight, with food, dancing, a hula hoop contest, a performance by a 50's musical group, and a fireworks display. The cost will be $5 a carload.
While we're on the subject of Independence Day, don't forget our early advertising deadline for our July 7th edition: all ads must be received by Friday, July 1st at noon, as our staff will be enjoying a well-deserved break on Monday, July 4th!
As usual, we continue in our support of the troops: we are currently gathering a care package for Sergeant Dallas Fouse, of Quinlan, who is currently deployed to Afghanistan with the US Army. If you have any items you would like to send to him, just drop them off at our office. If your summer budget is low, you can always send a letter of support! Just mail it to PO Box 906, Greenville, TX 75403, drop it by our office at 3617 Wesley St., Greenville, or email it to hcshop@swbell.net.
As always, thank you for your patronage, and have a safe and fun holiday!
