Covington's 2015 Independence on the Square celebration brought plenty of people, music, celebration and fireworks to Newton County, and now it has a chance to bring additional recognition to the city.
The National Main Street Center, Inc. has nominated the annual Fourth of July celebration in Covington as one of the top five among all Main Street programs nationwide. Those nominees, which also include Laramie, Wyoming, Salisbury, North Carolina, Rutherford, New Jersey and Warrenton, Virginia, were put up for a public vote that can be found on the Covington News' Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/covnews.
The winner will be announced this Friday on Facebook and in the National Main Street Center's national newsletter, Main Street Weekly.
