the day and then offer an opportunity to have your picture made with her! McKenzie is from Cabarrus County
and is a Junior at UNC-Charlotte. An accomplished lyrical dancer, she has been a cheerleader for the
Carolina Panthers and an ambassador for NASCAR. The parade will also feature the giant Goodness Grows in
NC Shopping Cart and lots of other great entries in the Parade During the day there will also be an
opportunity to visit with NC Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin and his staff. During the day there
will be many live musical performances, children’s games & rides, vendors (selling food, arts, & crafts),
displays by many organizations, antique car’s, and demonstrations by groups such as the US Coast Guard.
At the end of the day, everyone will be treated to an awesome fireworks display over the Scuppernong River
on the Columbia waterfront. The day will end with a street dance where everyone can shag the night away
with The Embers featuring Craig Woolard, an awesome beach music band. It’s going to be an exciting day and
