We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow-men; and along those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.

July 4th Celebrations & Info

Who better than a veteran to hand out American flags on the 4th of July? Once again this year, the veterans organizations of Fayette County have joined together to hand out flags during the 4th of July Parade in Peachtree City. Members of American Legion Post 50, American Legion Post 105 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9949 are shown at the Peachtree City Veterans Memorial with just a few of the almost 10,000 flags on hand for folks along the parade route. The flags are made in America and represent a record setting financial commitment from the 3 units. From the left are: Ben Bauman, Post 9949, Robert Ladd, Post 105, Jim O'Brien, Post 50, Robert Konrad, Post 9949, and Jim Ryan, Post 9949.
 

Fireworks Safety Zone set for July 4

There will again be a 700-800 feet safety zone established for the annual July 4th fireworks show over Lake Peachtree. All safe areas will be marked by red or yellow security tape, placed in the area by July 2nd. Even though much of Picnic Park will be affected, the All Children’s Playground will remain open for play until 8 pm. At that time, everyone must leave the safety zone.

The required safety zone also includes specific areas on the water. The Peachtree City Fire Department, Fayette County Marshals office, and DNR will have boats and personnel on the water to monitor the area. Boaters must be able to control their craft to keep from drifting into the danger zone, which will be marked by flotation buoys. Any violation of the rules will result in a delay of the fireworks show. Also any violators to the safety rules and safety zones on land and water will be subject to police arrest.

The Fire Department also reminds residents that no consumer fireworks are allowed to be used, sold or possessed on any city-owned or controlled property.

Let Freedom Ring on July 4

The community is invited to a “Let Freedom Ring” celebration at Peachtree City United Methodist Church on Saturday, July 4, at 1:30 PM in honor of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and our nation’s 233rd birthday. The Declaration of Independence will be read aloud and the church’s belry bell will be rung for each of the 13 original colonies, with one person representing each state having the honor of ringing the bell. Several Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops will participate in the program with the PTCUMC handbell choir performing special music. The celebration will be held in the PTCUMC Children and Youth Center at 400 Windgate Road. For further information contact PTCUMC at 770-487-6499 or see the church website at www.ptcumc.org.

Let Freedom Ring on July 4th in Fayetteville

The public is invited to celebrate America's birthday with A Let Freedom Ring ceremony at 2PM on July 4th on the grounds of the Old Fayette County Courthouse in Fayetteville. The short, yet meaningful ceremony, will honor the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. Each state's name and the names of the men from that state who signed the document will be read and a bell will be rung in recognition of their brave act.

The Marquis de Lafayette Chapter Sons of the American Revolution will provide a color guard that will post the colors and provide a musket salute. The ceremony lasts about twenty minutes. Bring lawn chairs for seating. The ceremony is sponsored by the James Waldrop Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution in Fayetteville. For more information, contact Susan Sloan at 770-461-2458 or jandssloan@mindspring.com.

Happy 4th of July

When we begin to think that everything’s looking “bad” out there, let’s take the time to reflect on how fortunate we truly are. Our country is great. It’s our responsibility to keep it that way. Putting the focus on our family, religion and community will keep us motivated. Be positive. Let’s remember our soldiers and their families too. As we celebrate the red, white and blue, be safe. Keep it real. May God bless you and yours this holiday and may He continue to bless our beautiful United States of America.
