Freedom Fest 2017at Darlington Raceway
The Greater Darlington Chamber of Commerce held its annual Freedom Fest July 1 at the Darlington Raceway. Crowds from near and far enjoyed the festival’s food, games and music by Johnny Glenn and the Chasers.
The car show had a unique blend of classic cars and newer cars with distinctive modifications. No event at the Track Too Tough To Tame would be complete without an appearance by the Lack in Black.
Unfortunately for festivalgoers, the forecast was not a good one for the planned fireworks display.
A statement on the Greater Darlington Chamber of Commerce’s Facebook page said:
“Unfortunately, the pyrotechnic company was still putting the finishing touches on the display for last night and the storm came up so fast and furious they said the fireworks were totally destroyed. We will be unable to reschedule, as they were a total loss. The Chamber is very upset that we were unable to have the fireworks show last night as we look forward to it every year as everyone else does. Mother Nature had other plans, but she gave us some pretty incredible fireworks of her own.”
