This week, I am writing an article about the Independence Day celebrations going on in the area.
I started my celebrating early when I attended a dance in Saluda Saturday night.
The dance had a patriotic theme and most attendees wore red, white and blue. We were given a flag pin and a small flag as souvenirs at the door. Admission is $5.
You can't beat that. And the food was something else. In a separate room, they had makings for sub sandwiches, chicken wings, chips, a red, white and blue cake - the works!
Everything was decorated in keeping with the July 4th holiday just days away.
This wasn't the first time I had been to this dance.
