A Clinton non-profit is leading the charge to bring back a popular summer holiday event.

The Clinton American Legion is working with the Celebrate Clinton Association to bring back the annual 4th of July celebration in downtown Clinton. On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Josh Thielen with the Legion told Regional Radio he approached the Celebrate Clinton Association about bringing back the annual events that had fallen by the wayside in recent years.

According to Thielen, he is now in the process of rallying the community to create partnerships for volunteers and bring in sponsors to help support the events and activities they want to host.

Thielen stresses the Celebrate Clinton Association will continue to coordinate the annual Fourth of July fireworks display.

Thielen encourages anyone wanting more information about the event to find it on Facebook. He indicates they recently shared the newly created event page on the American Legion Facebook page.
