Spur will welcome locals and visitors to celebrate an extended Fourth of July weekend with fireworks, hot dogs, parades and more.
The community will kick off its holiday with a third Annual 4th of July Parade on Thursday, July 4 at 10 a.m. along Burlington Avenue in downtown Spur. Organizer Janet Bridges said that the group expects to have a veteran service member to ride in the parade.
A hot dog lunch will be provided after the parade. The Dickens County–Spur Public Library will host a patriotic photo booth in Rickels Park from 9 to 11 a.m. Bring your family dressed in red, white and blue and take pictures!

On Saturday, July 6, the Spur Volunteer Fire Department will serve up more hot dogs and hamburgers at the Swenson Park show barn, starting at 7 p.m. before the evening fireworks show. Those wishing to offer up entries in the homemade ice cream contest should bring their entries at 6:30 p.m.; tasting and judging will begin at 7, with announcement of winners at 8 p.m. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.
Donations to help cover the cost of fireworks are appreciated. Benefit raffle tickets are also available from any fire department member, with some great prizes. The drawing will be held prior to the fireworks show.
