Student activities and events are in full force for Independence Day
By Melanie Manville
THE BATTALION
One hundred fifty five mil
lion hot dogs will be devoured
in one day this year, according
to the Nation Hot Dog and
Sausage Council. One holiday
comes to most students’ minds
with this statistic: the Fourth of
July.
This Fourth of July, there
will be many celebrations going
on in the Bryan-College Station
area.
On Friday evening, the “I
Love America” celebration will
take place at George Bush
Presidential Library and
Museum. The event usually
draws 11,000 to 15,000 people.
The celebration has been held
for 43 years, but only in the last
four has taken place at the muse
um.
Brian Blake, public relations
specialist for the Bush Library,
considers the change a good
one.
“It (the museum) was seen as
a natural patriotic backdrop,”
Blake said. “And it’s an incredi
ble gift to the community.”
Games for children, along
with live entertainment, will
begin at 6 p.m. The live enter
tainment will feature local
bands and the Brazos Valley
Symphony Orchestra. The
orchestra’s concert will include
patriotic music and starts at 8:30
p.m.
The night will climax with a
fireworks spectacular and the
symphony’s performance of
“1812 Overture.”
Those attending the festivi
ties can also enjoy the Bush
Library, which will be open
from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m with
free admission.
So, those planning to attend
can bring out their lawn chairs
and blankets and enjoy the fes
tivities.
In addition to these city-
sponsored celebrations, students
will be celebrating the
fourth their own way.
Some students
have plans to get in
water and cool
off from the
Texas heat.
“I’m going to
float the
Guadalupe,”
said Jaime
Munoz, /
a jun-
o r /
major.
Megan Adcock, a sophomore
accounting major, plans to do
the same.
“Hopefully I can make it to
San Marcos to float the river
with some friends,” she said.
If some students’ plans don’t
include the river, they often
include the beach, which

landscape architecture

major, has plans to go to Austin
to see a Pat Green concert.
According to www.tworiver-
canyon.com, the concert will
take place in Spicewood,
Texas, at Two River Canyon,
and includes Willie Nelson,
Toby Keith and Merle
Haggard among many others.
