The Emporia Greensville Chamber of Commerce regretfully announces the cancellation of its Annual 4th of July Fun Day in the Park. Due to the dry weather conditions the Forestry Department and City Fire officials have suggested that the Fireworks Display would cause an undue hazard to our forest and residents. The Chamber supports their decision and has decided to CANCEL ALL ACTIVITIES scheduled for the 4th of July in light of the fact that it is the fireworks display that attracts citizens to the park. They appreciate the support the City and Fire Department have given the Emporia Greensville Chamber.
