This year’s Georgia Independence Day Festival, in Henry County, was in jeopardy of being canceled, due to county budget cuts. A local television station, however, has provided the money needed to rescue the annual event.
During a special called meeting on Thursday, the Henry County Board of Commissioners approved an agreement for co-sponsorship of the festival. Under the agreement, Signature Broadcasting Networks LLC, (SBN-TV), based in McDonough, will pay a sponsorship fee of $25,170 to the county.
The commission also approved a contract with Atlanta Pyrotechnics International, Inc., based in Marietta, to provide fireworks for the festival. The cost for the fireworks will be $15,000, and the money will be drawn from the county’s Parks and Recreation Department budget.
