Lots available this weekend Despite some of the nation’s challenges, of late, most Americans can still agree that the USA is still a great country and worth celebrating. The annual Edmond LibertyFest party, already under way, kicks into high gear this weekend with a bevy of events and happenings. The highlight will be Monday with the annual parade at 9 a.m. and the fireworks show at 9:30 p.m. The finale of the fireworks will originate at Hafer Park.
Earlier at the parade, dozens of entries are scheduled to delight and entertain the large crowd lining the parade route ion Edmond. As a special treat this year, spectators will get to see the 2022 parade marshal, Edmond’s own Miss Darci Lynne. The very talented ventriloquist and singer won NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” show. She has been on a roll since then, entertaining audiences throughout the nation. She has even performed at the Grand Old Opry.
Please note there will be no parking on Broadway during the parade from Second Street to Ayers. And if you want to enhance your fireworks experience, please listen to KZUC 99.3 FM as music will be synchronized to the colorful show. For additional information on LibertyFest, please read Ray Hibbard’s “From the Publisher,” column on Page 4 of today’s edition. Have a safe and pleasant weekend and happy birthday, America.
