Everyone enjoyed the ice cream at the Fourth of July Extravaganza sponsored by the Friends of the Columbia-Marion County Public Library.
The Friends of the Columbia-Marion County Public Library Fourth of July Extravaganza on Friday night in Friendship Park drew over 100 people who enjoyed the fireworks show, ice cream buffet and live music. There was also a patriotic reading by Friends of the Library President Ron Jordan. The Dusty Club served up ice cream, and the Columbia Fire Department shot off the fireworks. This was the first year for the Fourth of July Extravaganza, and the newly formed Friends of the Library hopes to make it an annual event. All proceeds from the event went to the Friends of the Library to help pay for projects to improve the library. Musicians to perform at the event included Joanna Sabine, Tori Gay and Carolyn and Jerry Norris. Tony Weinedel provided the sound equipment, and the event was made possible by generous donations from 2ndStreet Bean, Wal-Mart and H&R Fireworks.
Great way to bring the community together! Thanks to all involved.
