Sherburne’s 4th of July celebration drawing near
SHERBURNE – Now less than a month away, the Sherburne Lions Club is set to light the Chenango County village up with live music, baseball games, food and – not to mention – plenty of fireworks during Sherburne’s Fourth of July Celebration.
The Lions Club first began organizing the village’s Independence Day Celebration in 1994 and has hosted it ever since. As per tradition, the celebration will commence at 11 a.m. in Paddleford Park in Sherburne with a chicken barbecue. There will be no charge for attendance or parking.
“We started this on the village’s 175th celebration in 1993 and it was a huge event,” said organizer Ken VanWagner. “Ever since then, we have tried to match exactly what we did that year and will continue to do so.”
The event will be favored this year with exceptional entertainment, said VanWagner. Included in this year’s musical lineup will be the increasingly distinguished Tumbleweed Highway, and Katie Stewart, a Sherburne-Earlville student who recently won a local American Idol Competition hosted at the Park Place Restaurant and Lounge in Norwich. Nashville recording artist Cassidy Lynn – who will be releasing her first CD beforehand – will also return this year, along with the Smyrna Citizens Band (a local favorite) and the Bruce Beadle Trio.
“We are very happy with the lineup this year,” said VanWagner.
The last band to perform come July 4, Tumbleweed Highway, will hit the stage at 7 p.m., playing until the first fireworks are fired away at approximately 9:30 p.m. The fireworks display will feature a number of airborne projectiles as well as a special ground display, courtesy of American Fireworks of Utica.
“We are especially proud of the ground fireworks,” said VanWagner, adding that they will best be seen from the park.
Attendees will have access to the adjacent village pool throughout the day as well as a giant slide, bounce house and duck pound provided for a second year in a row by MNJ Entertainment, also based in Utica.
Both of Paddleford’s baseball fields will be occupied by a Little League tournament taking place throughout the course of the day. At present, eight teams are scheduled to compete in the annual tournament. Prizes will come in the form of monetary awards, which are often used by the teams to help subsidize uniform purchases.
