Last Saturday, Cedar Bluff celebrated their Annual Liberty Day Festivities in the Cedar Bluff Town Park celebrating the 4th of July a few days early. It was my first time attending this solid event as Andrew Hughes my co-worker and I did a WEIS Radio remote from 9am-12pm on the premises. There were 49 vendors this year up from 26 last year at the venue. I really believe it was a great time had by all for all the ages. I would like to personally thank Cedar Bluff Mayor Tammy Crane, Cedar Bluff Police Chief Jeremy Stepps, Cedar Bluff Town Clerk Jennifer Runnels, and Cedar Bluff Utility Board Member and Fireman Bill Warren for coming on our Radio Show to be interviewed live. This was a total team effort putting this event together and it was well organized like a well oiled machine from start to finish. The excellent fireworks show at 9 pm iced the cake for a very solid Liberty Day celebration in Cedar Bluff.
