We had great music and lots of food. There were games for the kids and grown-ups alike. We had a chance to relax with our families and friends and catch up on everybody's news. We had fun. And the crowds were there.
Some estimates place the number of folks downtown in the thousands.
We didn't count, but we know we saw the most people we've ever seen at a Fourth of July party in Sylva. Our hats are off to the all hard-workers who planned such a successful event. Thanks to Jeff Carpenter and the recreation department for the amazing fireworks, incredible music and fun games and contests. SPIR, Sylva's downtown revitalization group, sponsored a packed bingo tent, sold baked goods and engraved bricks and coordinated all other vendors. We appreciate their dedication and energy.
