Businesses, attendees help cover July 4 costs

Posted on July 12, 2012 by Staff

More than 27,000 people attended Chapel Hill’s July 4 celebration at Kenan Memorial Stadium.

The event, presented by WCHL and chapelboro.com, featured fireworks, musical entertainment and a watermelon-eating contest. Last year, the event was cancelled because of budget cuts, but due to support from the community the event was brought back this year. Local business donated nearly $12,000 toward the $42,000 cost of the event and attendees donated more than $8,000 at the door.
