Fireworks and parade mark Fourth of July events at Lake Atwood
Crowds celebrated Independence Day with a Lake Atwood parade and a Freedom Feed of hot dogs and chips at Stevens Park. Rain interrupted some plans as clouds rolled in, but many residents kept the mood upbeat and shared family moments. Raleigh planned to ignite loud fireworks while Monica Hilburn and her family sheltered in their truck during showering rain. Timmy Snead postponed his fireworks to today, returning home after Navy service and looking forward to celebrating with relatives.
