MUSIC AND FIREWORKS HEADLINE
JULY 4TH CELEBRATION IN BAINBRIDGE
You won't have to drive very far to enjoy a spectacular July 4th celebration! The City of Bainbridge's annual July 4th festivities this year include two great bands, lots of food vendors and the largest fireworks display in southwest Georgia. Best of all, it is all free!
Local favorites, Traveler, will open the festivities as they take the stage at the Performing Arts Building at the Earle May Boat Basin Park at 7 p.m. They will be followed at 8 p.m. by Atlanta based band Drivin N Cryin. This band has been on the music scene since 1985. They were recognized in 2011 by the State of Georgia in a Resolution recognizing them for the charity, longevity, service and cultural contributions to the state of Georgia. Rolling Stones magazine says of Drivin N Cryin, "Crunching hard rock is the drivin part, brittle countryish balladry the cryin, with the two linked by a heavy dose of Led Zeppelinphilia."
All you need is your chair! See you July 4th at the Earle May Boat Basin for a fun evening of music and fireworks!

How was your business founded? It has been a lifelong dream of mine to own and operate a business that is fueled by two passions: making my clients feel good and making ladies look fantastic! Sweet Tea is the perfect combination of offering signature spa services that include: massage, facials, body scrubs waxing, manicures and pedicures and having a boutique filled with one of a kind items that are sure to make any lady stand out in a crowd! We truly are a Refreshing Day Spa and Boutique.
Tell us something about your business others may not know. We have a kitchen and relaxation area that is perfect to host any baby or bridal shower or luncheon, and of course it's perfect for a spa party for any age, or a Girls Night Out filled with wine tastings! The sky is the limit at Sweet Tea! We offer Southern Hospitality at its best.
How does being a Chamber member benefit your business? As a Chamber member, I have the opportunity to attend monthly networking events that help me connect with potential new customers. It also gives me great satisfaction knowing that the Chamber of Commerce will go above and beyond to give my business greater exposure by promoting my products and services. This is what helps us, as a small business, thrive! |
