Bussey and Pleasantville celebrated independence day with parades, games, live music and fireworks throughout the day Wednesday.
Bussey began the day with a parade, had a BBQ cook off, a car show, and live music from Luke Farland before the fireworks celebration began at dusk. Pleasantville kids enjoyed the candy, tractors, and horses of their parade the most, before enjoying karaoke, face painting, and live music from Joe Inman and Company in Cora Shadle Park and a fireworks show at dusk. The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio participated in the Bussey and Pella Parades, while the Big Red Radio was in the Pleasantville Parade and at the best burger contest in Knoxville. KNIA/KRLS also played patriotic music from 9-11pm during the county fireworks celebrations.
