Mill Creek Country Club invites you to its third annual Independence Day celebration, culminating with a professional fireworks show over the pond and fountain. The daylong event will be July 2, so that otherwise working families can participate.

Bring lawn chairs and come early for good seats for the fireworks display which will start at about 9 p.m. when it gets dark enough.

Billy Helm invites Saladoans and visitors to the annual event, started three years ago by the new ownership group of Mill Creek.

Prior to the fireworks going off at dark, Mill Creek is providing free live music 6-9 p.m. July 2.

The day-long event includes a Golf Tournament teeing off at noon on July 2. Sign up at least two hours beforehand at the Pro Shop.

The Mill Creek Grill will also have Hamburger Plates for $10 including soft drink and Hot Dog Plates for $8 including soft drink available for purchase during the evening.

“We appreciate our corporate sponsors for this event,” Helm said. “They help us to make it a better event for Salado.”

If you would like to be a sponsor or contribute to the community event, you can mail a payment to Mill Creek Golf Course, P.O. Box 159, Salado, TX 76571 or go by the Pro Shop.
