Founding band members Paul Wilson, Nick Herbert and Cliff Brown are no strangers to the entertainment industry sharing the stage with headliners such as The Wailers, Shaggy, Kenny Chesney and many more. The band has a goal at every show to leave people with music that spreads smiles, delivers hope and unites the crowd with happiness. The City Saints will drop their first full length album in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Mims, President of T. Mims Corporation said, \u201cWe are very excited to sponsor Red, White & Kaboom again this year.\u202f It is an excellent opportunity for our community to come together in celebration of our great country and it is free to the public.\u201d \u202fHe added, \u201cHowever, we ask all those attending to bring a canned food item that will help those in need.

During Red, White & Kaboom there will be a variety of food trucks around Lake Mirror so bring a blanket, bring your appetite and enjoy the festivities in celebrating our great nation.\u202f Kevin Cook, Director of Communications and one of the organizer of the event said, \u201cWe have a variety of great food vendors so there is something for everyone. The band is fantastic and you can\u2019t ask for a better setting to watch fireworks over Lake Mirror.\u201d He added, \u201cThe watermelon eating contest is back by popular demand with several age categories.  Sign-ups will take place the during the event with the contest happening very close to 7 p.m. at the band\u2019s first break.  This a fun but messy addition that is very popular but rest easy because participants get rain ponchos to protect clothing and we have plenty of paper towels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
