Spend Fourth of July 2012 in Braselton

The town seeks participants as it preps for its annual parade through historic downtown.

The town of Braselton is currently seeking participants for the upcoming Celebrate Braselton Fourth of July parade on Wednesday, July 4.

A recent press release indicated interested parties may want to enter their “classic car, festive float or favorite American hero.” It’s the ideal opportunity for churches, businesses, clubs and organizations to show their patriotic spirit while demonstrating their support of the Braselton community.

Best part is, there no cost to enter.
