Greg Smartt, BLC CEO, states, “Ben Lomand Connect is thankful that we can be a part of giving back to the community and keeping the 4^th of July tradition going in Warren County. Dr. Pepper did a fantastic job of getting us to today and what they meant to this community. We are thrilled to be able to partner with FNB for this annual event and look forward to seeing everyone there.”

Pieter van Vuuren, FNB CEO, adds, “We are thrilled to be able to host this event again with Ben Lomand and celebrate this wonderful country that we live in. Everyone in our communities has blessed us, and their support has enabled us to give back.  We hope that the entire community comes out and supports the vendors and end the day with an incredible fireworks show.”
