ANDERSON, TEXAS!!!

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate 250 years of America at the Anderson Freedom Picnic.

Seeing neighbors, friends, and families gathered together to enjoy good food, great entertainment, laughter, and fellowship was exactly what this celebration was all about.

An enormous thank you to our volunteers, vendors, sponsors, partners, entertainers, first responders, and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this event possible. Your time, generosity, and dedication helped create a day our community will remember for years to come.

Most importantly, thank you to every person who attended. Your support and community spirit made the event a tremendous success.

We are proud to call Anderson home and grateful for the opportunity to celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary together.

Here's to honoring our past, celebrating our present, and looking forward to the future of our great community.

Happy Independence Day, and thank you for making the Anderson Freedom Picnic so special! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
