We hope you had a Happy 4th of July! I saw on social media where some of you enjoyed Thunder On The Mountain in Birmingham, and I’m guessing many of you probably saw one of the fireworks celebrations on television—I for one enjoyed the spectacular one in New York City!
If you’re more into local Independence Day-related activities and fireworks, there’s no shortage of activities both tonight (July 5) in West Blocton, and tomorrow and tomorrow evening (July 6) next to Bibb Medical Center in Centreville.
Tonight marks the Grand Opening of West Blocton Town Park at 483 Oak Street, located near Main Street. If you don’t know about it, or where it is, you can get more information and even navigate to it using Google Maps via this link: West Blocton Town Park
As with a lot of good things happening in West Blocton, such as the Farmers Market and tonight’s Town Park Grand Opening, tonight’s West Blocton Independence Day Celebration is being organized by the Town of West Blocton and We Are West Blocton Like and scroll the Facebook pages at those links to see all the good things happening!
Tomorrow, Saturday July 6, marks the continually bigger and better Celebration On The Green hosted by the Centreville Press, City of Brent, South Bibb Parks & Recreation Board, City of Centreville, Bibb Medical Center, Bibb County Chamber of Commerce and Brent-Centreville Public Library.
