The Southern Advocate The Snow Lake Shores Planning Committee is working to finalize the final details of this year’s Independence Day Celebration. The
event, which will be held Saturday, July 3, starting at 11 a.m., will
combine traditional favorite elements with some new twists. Refreshments
will be available at the Snow Lake Shores Community Center. The
community center team will offer a variety of foods for sale, including
barbecue plates, barbecue nachos and hot dogs. They will also have
drinks available, including sweet tea, soft drinks and bottled water.
Among the specialty items available will be barbecue beans prepared by
Jason Ross. The musicians will include bands from
several genres. “Stanley Rolfe and the 50+ Band” will perform classic
country, rockabilly, ’50s music, rock classics and country gospel.
“Little Country” will perform classic country, along with modern
country music. “Devil Train” will be the final performer for the
evening. The band’s style is described as “a powerhouse mix of
bluegrass, folk rock and jam band music” in materials prepared by the
planning committee. The event will also feature a
collection of local artists and craftsmen who will be displaying and
selling their work. Denise Brown will display fine art pottery. Artwork
by Peggy McKnight will be featured in the community center. Benny
Conner will offer handcrafted lawn furniture. Lisa Blake will present a
collection of purses, and Chuck Plummer will present a collection of
