Good morning, Hattiesburg.

Hattiesburg residents celebrated America’s 250th Independence Day at Paul B.

Johnson Park on Saturday, July 4, with grilling, food trucks, skiing at Geiger Lake, and a 9 p.m. fireworks show (admission was $5 for ages six and up).

First responders and local community members joined a procession from Moore Funeral Home to Lake Terrace Convention Center Friday to honor Forrest County investigator Andretta English, who died June 28 in a motorcycle accident.

In Forrest County, local fireworks retailer Brandon Bullock said unsold fireworks are inspected for damage and stored in climate-controlled warehouses after the Fourth of July sales period.

Mississippi law requires they be housed in permanent facilities until the next season to ensure safe storage.
