Green Beret medic Sgt. Gregory Stube speaks to the crowd during the City of Spartanburg’s Red, White, and Boom celebration on Saturday, July 3.
The Spartanburg tradition of Red, White and Boom again proved a powerful draw for patriotic Upstate Citizens as thousands flocked to Barnet Park on Saturday, July 3 for the annual celebration.
This year the City of Spartanburg took over the event and it was a good old-fashioned celebration of our nation’s independence complete with The Palmetto Statesmen, a barbershop chorus and quartet, the Spartanburg Community Jazz Band and the Spartanburg Community Band, and plenty of American flags.
Young and old, black and white, rich and poor all came out to celebrate the fact that they are Americans living in the best country in the world.
