LIBERAL, Kan. — There will be baseball, food, fun, and of course, fireworks this Tuesday on the Fourth of July at Brent Gould Field on the Seward County Community College campus.
SCCC is proud to host the annual holiday extravaganza, which starts with an all-American game of baseball, followed by fireworks courtesy of the City of Liberal, Seward County, and Community Bank.
Celebration starts earlier in the day, with an Independence Day Parade on Kansas Ave. set to start at 9:30 a.m. It will travel south to north, beginning at Trail Street along the railroad tracks, and end at Light Park. Festivities are scheduled at the park until 2 p.m., with clubs, organizations and businesses invited to host tables.
Seward Saints team members will participate in the parade and distribute 250 patriotic Saints T-shirts.
Bee Jays will take on the Dodge City A’s at 7 p.m., with a fireworks display following the game. Parking will be permitted in all normal parking lots on campus, except the dorm/softball field parking lot that is reserved for the Student Living Center residents. There is no parking allowed between the dorms and softball field.
Guests should also note that SCCC does not allow use of personal fireworks on campus, including the Hale Court dorm area and the Industrial Technology Campus. When the official fireworks display is over, campus security requests that drivers exit the respective parking lot in a right-turn only fashion, to expedite traffic flow.
