Are you coming to Freedom Fest July 2nd at Veterans Park?

Freedom Fest is so much fun for the whole family so come on out and join the fun!  Bring your chair and come early to eat a great hamburger or get one of Hevy's Funnel Cakes and then play a game or two of Bingo.  The children will enjoy the Inflatables, games and activities. 
One of the highlights of Freedom Fest is the Salute To Our Heroes which is organized by Friends of the Park Volunteer, Faye Ladd, who is also very active in the American Legion Post 113 Auxiliary.  Faye and her American Legion Friends have a display of photos and memorial from local Veterans.  Be sure to stop by her booth next to the stage to see all they have.  You will enjoy running into Uncle Sam who will be giving out Free American Flags (made in the USA).

Freedom Fest 2011 in Pendleton SC

The 21st Freedom Fest will be held at Veterans Park on July 2, 2011 beginning at 6:30 pm. This event is a fundraiser organized by Friends of the Park for Veterans Park. Freedom Fest is a fun filled family event with a patriotic theme. I don't know how many towns actually have celebrations like this one but it will make you feel proud to be an American and provide an evening of old fashioned entertainment. The opening ceremony is so impressive and I hope you will make plans to get there early. The American Legion Post 113 and their Auxiliary  work hard to make this ceremony meaningful and memorable.

DJ Ty Buchanan will provide the music for your enjoyment while you visit the different areas. There will be great food such as hamburgers and hot dogs. This year we are pleased to have Hevy Mann working with us and providing his famous lemonade and funnel cakes. A bake sale offers some wonderful home baked goods. There will also be a cake walk.

Activities for the children include inflatable games, The Great American Turtle Hunt at Barrett's Place Playground. Adults and children will enjoy the Trotter's Trail walk and playing Bingo in one of the picnic shelters. Mayor Randy Hayes and the Town Hall staff will have a special booth set up and believe you me, it is always a great one..

When the night skies begin to darken, the fireworks will begin and this is a display that you will not want to miss. People have commented that this is the best fireworks display in the whole upstate and I believe it.

So bring your chair and some money to help our cause and enjoy this fun filled evening. There is a small fee for parking inside the park, fees for food and patriotic merchandise, and for the games. We try to keep everything reasonably priced so it will be an affordable evening but we also need to raise money for the park. This year the proceeds will focus on the proposed Veterans Memorial and the Baseball Fields. A beautiful plan is in place for the park and we are working hard on Phase 1 but need the support of the whole community.

Spread the word and we hope to see you at Veterans Park on Lebanon Road on July 2 for Freedom Fest.
