noellekenneth: 4th of July in Heiberger, AL

Heiberger is a small country town where our friend Mark Pettus has a rich family history. His ancestors opened the first Post Office in Heiberger, shortly after 1776. The house next to the Post Office has been standing over 150 years and has always been owned by his family. It's tradition that every 4th of July his extended family and dear friends celebrate at the house. The day kicks off with a potluck at high noon, which includes many gallons of sweet tea! After lunch everyone gathers together on the porch to have a singin'. Right after that there is a softball game with kids and adults...its tradition that the kids never get out. Then everyone packs into the back of a pickup and drives down to the river to swim and hangout.

We had so much fun and are going back next year! It was the most patriotic 4th I've ever had. There was so much history and tradition that surrounded us all day. ENJOY THE PICTURES from the day!!!
