Three young friends watch in awe as fireworks explode over Pitts Park.
Shown left to right are brothers David Khadayat, 5, and Alex Khadayat, 4, of Demorest and their friend Noah Smith, 4, of Alto. These best buddies and their families attended Clarkesville’s Red, White, and Tunes event on July 16.
“This photo was taken by Daisy Espiritu of our kids ending their night of fun-filled adventures,” says David and Alex’s mom Susan Khadayat.
And Katy Perry has nothing on little Amber Jackson.
Jackson, who turns two later this month, was fascinated by the sight of her first big fireworks display.
Staring wide-eyed at the sky with her dad Ryan at her side as mom Natashia captured the moment, Amber kept repeating, “Fireworks…fireworks!”
“We were looking for something fun to do before she becomes a big sister Monday and she loves fireworks,” Natashia says.
Amber had seen small fireworks their neighbors shot last year, but this was something special. “We went to watch them as a last family of three moment,” her mom says.
The annual Red, White, and Tunes (and Cruise-in) event has become a post-Fourth of July summer tradition in Habersham, attracting hundreds of spectators each year.
