Bank of Clarke County Changes Fireworks Date

14 June 2019 Clarke County News

Bank of Clarke County has announced that it’s changing plans for its annual fireworks show.

In a Tuesday (6/11/2019) release, Marketing Director John Hudson said that the company has been forced to move their 2019 Fourth of July show in Berryville’s Clarke County Fairgrounds to July 3, 2019 instead. The date change was due to a sudden exodus of pyrotechnicians from Zambelli Internationale, the company contracted to put on the display, and that July 3 was the best alternative date they could provide. As a result, the Clarke County Community Band has switched their performance to July 3 as well. Bank of Clarke County plans to return the show to July 4 in 2020.

Lonnie's Fun Fact for Thursday December 5, 2019. Neil Armstrong's astronaut application arrived a week past the deadline. A friend slipped the tardy form in with the others. His application arrived about a week past the June 1, 1962, deadline, but Dick Day, a flight simulator expert with whom Armstrong had worked closely at Edwards, saw the late arrival of the application and slipped it into the pile before anyone noticed. At Brooks Air Force Base at the end of June, Armstrong underwent a medical exam that many of the applicants described as painful and at times seemingly pointless. NASA's Director of Flight Crew Operations, Deke Slayton, , called Armstrong on September 13, 1962, and asked whether he would be interested in joining the NASA Astronaut Corps as part of what the press dubbed "the New Nine"; without hesitation, Armstrong said yes. The selections were kept secret until three days later, although newspaper reports had circulated since earlier that year that he would be selected as the "first civilian astronaut". Armstrong was one of two civilian pilots selected for this group; the other was Elliot See , another former naval aviator. NASA announced the selection of the second group at a press conference on September 17, 1962. Compared with the Mercury Seven astronauts, they were younger, and had more impressive academic credentials.
