VFW Post 6542 on Old Hwy. 41 near Milner will host an all-day Independence Day celebration Wednesday featuring fireworks at dusk and a day full of benefits for local legend Stan ‘˜Hambone’ Hamrick who is locked in a valiant battle against cancer. The celebration begins at 9 a.m. A poker run for Hamrick is planned. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. with kickstands up at 10:30 a.m. Riders are asked to contribute $10 per bike and $5 per passenger. Lunch will be served for a donation. There will be a cake walk, dart poker, and a casting contest with live music all day. Hamrick, who coined the phrase ‘Lookahere now’ operated the now closed Hamrick’s Sporting Goods and Pawn Shop until his cancer worsened. He has been active in promoting the outdoors, scouting and is an all-around great American. For more information on the benefit, call 770-872-2132.
