The Funtastic Fourth, located around in Heart of the City Park at Second and Scurry streets, boasts live music from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday with food, vendors, horseback rides, train rides, a dunking booth, jumpers for the kids, water slides and a washer tournament.

 The headlining acts are still The Afters and Capital Lights, which will play sets from anywhere as long as an hour to an hour and a half. Other performers recently announced are Bryan Burk, Clearly Spoken, Crimson Everburn, daviD, KdB, One Moment and Southern Charm, and the previously confirmed Coble Family will also be performing.

 As for funding, Johnson said, “We're getting close, but we definitely still need sponsors.”

 There is still space available for those interested in setting up a booth at the event. “We'd really like to feature food booths, but we need more vendors.” The price of food booths is $150 and regular booths are $50.

 Sign-ups for teams wishing to participate in the washer tournament will begin around 1 p.m. Johnson said they usually get around 25 teams interested in participating.

 The DRA is also looking to get all of the churches in town involved in this event as its theme is again “God and Country.” Johnson said they are looking for help with things like keeping things cleaned up during the day, working the information booth and other such activities. However, Johnson stressed that people don't have to belong to a church family to help out.

 “We're calling for volunteers to come and help out. We'd like to get all the churches in town involved in some way, but we'd welcome anyone kind enough to show up and give us a hand,” he said.

 Concerns have been raised about construction posing a problem for the event, but Johnson was promised that it would not be an issue. “They may not be done with the construction, but it won't affect the event. Everything should be business as usual.”
