Music, games and fireworks will highlight this year’s traditional Independence Day celebration at Mill Creek Regional Park in Statesboro on Thursday. The Statesboro-Bulloch County Parks and Recreation Department and Sea Island Bank will present the 2013 Firecracker Fest from 4-11 p.m. This free event will include several amusement games, music, and community exhibitions, as well as the traditional frog jumping contest, a Baseball/Softball Skills Contest and the Subway Sub Eating Contest. Since Mill Creek Park will be celebrating its 20th birthday on July 3, the parks and recreation department added several new events to the Firecracker Fest.
