It was a big celebration in the small town of Demorest as people from all over northeast Georgia came to celebrate our nation’s 243rd birthday.
The Torch kicked things off bright and early with a 5k race through town. Kids waved flags and gathered up parade candy off the street. Vendor booths, pony rides, and live music added to the festival-like atmosphere.
Here’s a look back at the birthday bash as seen through the lens of Now Habersham’s Daniel Purcell.
