✨ America 250 – Cherokee County Celebration ✨

What a meaningful and patriotic morning as we gathered to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary here in Cherokee County!

We were honored to have veterans, community members, and 5th & 7th grade students from all five county schools in attendance for this special event.

The program began with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Department Honor Guard advancing the flags and leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a beautiful performance of the National Anthem by the JSU Jazz Band.

Cherokee County Schools Superintendent Mike Welsh welcomed guests and shared the significance of America 250. Judge Tim Burgess recognized elected officials and introduced our special guest speaker, Major General Eric Crabtree.

The JSU Jazz Band also performed the Armed Forces Medley, inviting veterans to stand as their branch of service was honored—a truly special moment.

Peter Leavitt, as “Peter the Patriot,” brought history to life with a reading of the Declaration of Independence and reflections on our nation’s founding.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to the Cherokee County America 250 Committee for helping bring this memorable event to life.
