Kenan was lit up

The Town of Chapel Hill knows how to put on one awesome fireworks show. Kenan Memorial Stadium was lit up Tuesday night to celebrate the nation’s 241st birthday. 

My guess is 30,000 people packed in the south side of the stadium to watch the show. It was pretty spectacular.

Happy birthday, USA

It was John Adams who said it first. The Fourth of July should be celebrated with fireworks, from one end of the continent to the other.

And so, Morehead City did so on this Fourth of July, 2016, on the 240th anniversary of the founding of our nation.

Happy birthday, America.
