What’s coming in the Fourth of July paper

The Web cast won’t be published today, but I just thought I’d run a few story ideas by our readers and online viewers so that you know what to expect in Wednesday’s edition of the Opelika-Auburn News.

Tamiko Lowery is working on a story about the new Opelika Kroger location. After closing it’s doors at the Second Avenue location, they are planning to officially reopen their doors in TigerTown July 12 at 9 a.m. with an Opelika Chamber of Commerce ribon cutting. The fueling station, located on site, is set to open July 5.

There will also be an article about all the activities going on in and around Lee County and what those celebrating the Fourth can get into on their day off. For example: check out the laser show in Valley or the fireworks display in Auburn, visit Chewacla State Park or go to Surfside Water Park.

We hope everyone enjoys their day off and remember to buckle up, travel safely if you’re on the road and don’t drink and drive.

Happy Fourth of July!
