CITY OF COALGATE MAKING PLANS FOR 4 TH OF JULY FIREWORKS SHOW — RW Lambert Trucking, Southside Liquor and Ronny and Tammy Lambert recently donated $1,100 for Coalgate’s 2021 4 th of July fireworks show. With the price of fireworks increasing every year, the Coalgate City Council voted in April to allow the city to spend $10,000 for the 2021 fireworks show – an increase of $3,000 over 2020. Coalgate’s impressive fireworks show, which attracts a large number of people not only from Coalgate but also from surrounding areas, is made possible by community donations. Last year, the council approved $7,000, but the community pitched in $6,900, leaving the city having to pay only about $100. (Shown above - Dustin Lambert, Tammy Lambert, Landon Lambert, Ronny Lambert, and Sydney Lambert.)

For many people in this area, especially in Coalgate, that special teacher is Mrs. Mead. When commenting on her retirement, Mrs. Mead stated, “I know it is time, but I love this place. I love the people, the students…everything about it.” That is the passion that has touched so many lives.
