Church of Scientology Community News: Independence Day Celebrations Across Nashville

Nashville, TN, July 06, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Recently the 4th of July was celebrated throughout the country. Google did up a doodle to showcase the day, with a series of family photos at historic sites around the country. Businesses were closed and families were together to celebrate the holiday. And, in Nashville, the Church of Scientology opened itself up with a gathering to the community of potluck and fireworks show.

“July 4th is a special day for the nation. We are celebrating freedom,” says Rev. Brian Fesler of the Church of Scientology, “This day can bring the entire community together in solidarity.”

And so it did with celebrations popping up all across the Nashville area. The downtown fireworks display in the city was a grand show with celebrity performers including the likes of The Band Perry, Keb’ Mo’ and the Nashville Symphony.

The Adventure Science Center featured a rooftop view of the downtown fireworks. Lipscomb University is offered a Free Independence Day festival featuring fireworks, musical entertainment, food and games for the entire family.

As newspaper columnist Erma Bombeck said, “You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.”
