If you’re looking for some fireworks fun this weekend but don’t want to go all the way to Kerr Lake, you may want to head over to the Cokesbury Volunteer Fire Department before dusk on Saturday, July 1.
Chief Adam Pegram said gates will open about 6 p.m. for the annual fireworks display. Folks can park across the street and then head over to where the action is – there will be music and food vendors will hamburgers and hotdogs, popcorn and sno-balls to enjoy.
“We’ll start shooting when the sun goes down,” Pegram said.
The Cokesbury event is the same evening as the county tourism fireworks display at Satterwhite Point, but Pegram said it’s not about competition – it’s about giving back to the community that supports the fire department.
“We’ve been working together for several years,” Pegram said. The goal is “having family fun at both locations and enjoying the holiday.”
Please keep in mind, however, that no matter where you enjoy the holiday, to be safe and considerate, Pegram reminds.
“Just be patient when we’re trying to exit and empty the parking lot,” he said.
“Come and enjoy yourself and have a good time,” Pegram said, but please remember to pick up your trash before you leave.
