Groups honor Georgia’s constitution signers with July 4th program
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – To mark our nation’s 248th birthday, members of more than half a dozen civic and masonic organizations came together for the 14th annual Fourth of July celebration.
It was held at the Signers’ Monument in Augusta.
The monument honors the three Georgia representatives who signed the Declaration of Independence — George Walton, Lyman Hall and Button Gwinnett.
Floral offerings were presented at the monument while music was performed by the Summerville Brass Quintet.
“I’ve been doing this program for probably 13 or 14 years now. For me, it’s been a terrific way to kick off the July 4 celebration. Celebrating this country, learning a little about our history, but also making beautiful music,” said Fabio Mann with the Summerville Brass Quintet.
Walton and Hall are buried under the Signers’ Monument.
