Happy Fourth of July! Local celebrations began early

If you live in Walton County, it’s always easy to find some way to celebrate July Fourth in true patriotic style. It is even more so this year as the County continues its year-long celebration in the lead up to the Dec 15, 2018, Bicentennial Celebration in honor of its own 200th birthday.

The celebrations began early with July Fourth parades in both Loganville and Social Circle on Saturday, June 30. Social Circle’s parade got under way at 3 p.m.
