Day celebration to feature Classified

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Eagles Independence Day celebration will feature Classified on July 5 and Cotton on July 6, however it will not include fireworks for 2013. 

“We’re going to have the same fun we’ve always had every year,” said Eagles Worthy President Steffanie Baker, “but unfortunately we will have to pass on the fireworks this year. Our financial responsibilities make the expense impossible at this time.” 

For several years, the Eagles has provided the sole financial support for the fireworks. Baker said the plan is to make the program bigger and stronger than ever next year. 

“We will be open to sponsors who would like to participate and help us out,” she added. 

The July 5 celebration will be at Shade Road and features Classified from 8 to 11 p.m. There will also be chicken dinners for sale for $7 each. Admission to Classified will be $3. 

On July 6, the celebration continues with Cotton at Eagles on Third Street in downtown Greenville. Cotton will be playing from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Admission will also be $3. 

Baker reminded visitors that no coolers are allowed. Also no pets, except service dogs, are allowed on the Shade Road grounds due to insurance requirements.
