WHAT DOES JULY 4TH MEAN TO ME?
This year marks the 250th anniversary of the City Of Charlotte’s founding. The Hickory Grove Fourth of July Parade and Celebration also observes the beginning of its second half-century of annual community parades and celebrations.
In honor of both these milestones, the 51st Year Scholarship has been established. Scholarships will be awarded to winners in five class groups of students who submit essays. One lucky high school senior student will receive a $500 scholarship. And the other four groups’ winners will receive $100 scholarships each.
