Turbulent weather meant that many 4th of July celebrations were hindered by intermittent showers, but the skies were all clear in time for the 4th annual Sparks in the Motorsports Park fireworks extravaganza last week. Free parking and admission were the main draw for citizens who came out to the Atlanta Motorsports Park on Duck Thurmond Road for games, food, activities for kids and, the main event, fireworks. Live music set the tone when vendors opened their shops at 6 p.m., peddling BBQ, shaved ice, ice cream, boiled peanuts, roasted corn and much more in addition to face painting, balloon animals, bouncy houses and other activities for kids.
