d E ATXJBES o Id -fash ion ed fun and fire works on 4 July By SUE FRANKEL Tar Heel Staff Writer The Fourth of July can either be the most explosive part of your summer or it can just be anotheTcase of plop plop fizz fizz. This year in the Triangle area, there is something planned that is sure to please even the most finicky celebrator. With events scheduled from morning until night, staying in the area next weekend could be made worth your while. Beginning with the campus, there are Fireworks with Mike Cross in Kenan Stadium. The concert starts at 7 p.m. and goes until around 9:30 p.m., said Helen Pierce, of WCHL radio station, and then the fireworks start. Tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for kids under 12 for reserve and day-of-show tickets. General admission tickets are $4 and $1 in advance. Tickets are available at the Print Shops at Uni versity Square and Northgate Mall and at WCHL. ; However, Chapel Hill isn't the only place to celebrate the fourth. The annual "Old Fashioned Family Fun Day Celebra tion" on the Carrboro Town Hall grounds on Main Street starts at 1 1 a.m. Included in the festivities will be arts-and-crafts booths, games, food and music. Stage entertainment starts at 2:30 p.m. and includes music from The Resistors and the Bijou Ben Bondburners, tapdanc ing, the Piedmont Cloggers and several puppet theaters. Thee will also be games for kids and adults including a watermelon-seed-spitting contest, a balloon toss and three-legged-races. At 10 p.m. the event will end with what else? fireworks! The City of Raleigh will also be hosting a celebration on the NC State Fairgrounds. The action begins at 4 p.m. with free games, rides, an antique car show and bands, said Raiford Fulghum, assistant supervisor of the Raleigh Parks and Recre ation Department. There will also be an all-day flea market, and many concession stands. At 8:30 p.m. the 440th Army Na tional Guard Band will play, and at 9:10 p.m, the fireworks begin. They will be followed by a one-hour performance by the Breezeland band. "It's a family thing and should be a good show," Fulghum said. . And if all that isn't enough to keep you busy, on July 3 and 4 the Eno River Association is sponsoring the "1983 Festival for the Eno" to raise money to buy park lands for the Eno River State Park in Durham. It will feature 30 groups of North Carolina musicians, including the Red Clay Ramblers and a reuniorrof the Hollow Rock String Band, said coordinator Cherstin Nygard. The Appalachian Puppet Theatre will be performing and there will be demonstrations by blacksmiths, woodcutters and Trout Unlimited, which will give a demonstration in fishing skills. At 1 p.m. on the Fourth there wilL be a parade with prizes for the best costume. Also on the Fourth is an auction; Nygard , said one of the "most exciting things" they will be auctioning is an autographed basketball from the N.C. State team. If, for some reason, this does not interest you, there will be plenty more to do, with 30 craft booths and 14 concession stands and numerous competitions, including a tobacco-spitting contest, and a nail-driving contest (bring your own ham mer). ; , Admission is $3. a day, and Nygard said they are expecting 20,000-25,000 people; The Festival is "probably the best ac tivity for that weekend in the area," said Nygard.
