NEWSOMS—On July 4 starting at 5 p.m., the Newsoms Ruritan Club and the town sponsored a parade and get-together for the families of the town and surrounding communities.
The event was kicked off with a parade featuring tractors, firetrucks, ATVs and floats pulled by decorated trucks. Some also decorated their vehicles for the event, including the town’s mayor, Kenny Cooke.
The event was well attended and many stuck behind to enjoy refreshments, including hot dogs, corn on the cob and watermelon provided by the club. Youth sports took place near the Ruritan building.
