independence day

The 4th of July is back in Victoria with live music, a carnival, and Texas-sized fireworks show you can see from anywhere.

These are contentious times in our country, but we can all agree on one thing: we all love a Fourth of July party.

You may think Philadelphia is the ideal place to be on the Fourth of July, but you'd be way off.

Since it's our nation's birthday celebration weekend, I was thinking about some of my favorite American-made rock n' roll. One of the first songs that came to mind was one from Edgar Winter's White Trash from waaay back in the day. It comes from a great live album called 'Roadwork,' and it features a guitar player by the name of Rick Derringer...

Roland Emmerich may be on his press tour for 'White House Down,' but he can't stop talking about ‘Independence Day 2.’ He already broke the news that Will Smith won't be returning, but now for some good news: Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman will be back to battle aliens.

Fox has begun slot-calling their summer schedule for the next two years, which makes them conservative compared to Marvel and Sony. 'Independence Day 2' has officially been dated for July 3, 2015, among other changes and updates to their schedule.

Here’s a look at some interesting events that took place on this day in history: 1776 – The United States Declaration of Independence is adopted by the Second Continental Congress (More info) 1826 – Former presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both die on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence (More info)

The legend of America’s birth is only 236 years old. However, in that short amount of time, a number of legends that would normally take centuries to grow and multiply in any other civilization have sprung up.

The Fourth of July is about more than just fireworks and hot dogs.

Here’s a fact that should shock absolutely no one. A survey conducted by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission indicates that most fireworks-related injuries take place during or around the Fourth of July holiday festivities.

If you are in Calhoun County for Independence Day, there are plenty of activities to celebrate the occasion, and get into the patriotic spirit.
