Local residents [hosted] the first-ever Independence Celebration in Fredonia, Kansas. Organizers Shallon and Tyler Decker say their event aims to raise money for non-profit organizations and local first responders. The theme is “Honoring Our Hometown Heroes,” and the main event is a BBQ cook-off between the Fredonia Police Department, Fredonia EMS, and Wilson County Sheriff’s Department. Meal tickets will be sold, and the proceeds will be divided equally among the departments. The celebration will also include free bingo, kid activities, a cornhole tournament, and a firework display.
