A day to honor America

A large crowd enjoyed an evening of food, fishing and fireworks at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens Saturday. The fireworks were free courtesy of the City of Athens and other sponsors, and free fishing was provided by the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center. The annual event takes place each July Fourth at the fisheries center, and proceeds from food sales go to benefit local community projects. Nearly 2,000 people attended the fireworks show at the Fisheries Center — an amount that doesn’t account for those who watched the show from outside TFFC’s gates.
