Mr. Carrigan reminisced about the many memories of 26 years of Independence Day celebrations: The appearances by the Rappahannock Hunt, the helicopters and balloons, the Arabian horses, fife and drum corps and colonial drill teams, the musicians and vocalists, and of course, the fireworks.
“These are good people making these celebrations — mostly local people. They have all worked together to make them a success.”
Mr. Carrigan singled out the late Paul Miller of Flint Hill and the Hubert Gilkey family of Chester Gap. Mr. Miller was the first coordinator of the fireworks displays, and the Gilkey family took over the responsibility after Mr. Miller’s health failed. “They are the real professionals responsible for the spectacular demonstrations of fireworks.”
Though they receive no compensation for their efforts, Mr. Carrigan said, “we want to give them something special.” He presented Mr. Gilkey, representing his family, with a Revolutionary War sword worn by an American Naval officer.
