City of Heath Celebrates 2018 Independence Day with Parade & Patriotic Celebration in the Park
It was a true patriotic Hometown Heath experience as the community celebrated July 4 with the Annual Independence Day Parade and Patriotic Program in the Park afterwards.
Thanks to wonderful weather and community spirit, the parade had the most entries (and viewers) to date! During the program, Mayor Kelson Elam presented the parade awards and honored attending veterans. Pastor Omar Rikabi of the First United Methodist Church of Heath led the invocation; Boy Scout Troop 989 posted the colors; and a live barbershop quartet sang the national anthem and other American favorites. And everyone cooled down with free popsicles, ice cold water and mini blueberry, cherry and buttermilk pies.
