If you’re in Nashville for the 4th of July then the place to be is the Lawn at Riverfront Park for a huge celebration entitled “Let Freedom Sing.” For the first time, this annual event will actually be a two-day extravaganza. On July 3rd there will be a free concert plus fireworks. On the 4th that party is expanded to include even more fun, food, drinks and one of the biggest fireworks displays in the whole South! Included on the line-up of entertainers are The Mavericks, Craig Morgan, Sarah Darling, Music City Hit-Makers and the Nashville Symphony. Organizers are encouraging folks to come early and stay late.
While that does sound like a lot of fun there is one slight drawback: the crowds. This event has clocked in around 100,000 spectators every year. So, if you like sharing an even like this with 100,000 of your newest friends then go for it. But most folks would prefer a more laid back way to celebrate a long holiday weekend. That doesn’t mean you can’t have friends and family over for a good old fashioned backyard barbeque; it just won’t be 100,000!
If your one of the lucky homeowners who has a great vantage point of some fireworks then you already know what fun it is to stay put in your own home to watch the displays. Throwing a 4th of July bash really isn’t all that complicated. Most will tell you that the bulk of the work is getting the place ready but even that doesn’t have to be so much of a chore especially when you can hire some professional junk haulers like Junk King Nashville to do most of the “dirty work.” In this case, that dirty work would be getting rid of all the junk in your backyard to make room for the party.
Just like your garage, basement and attic begins to attract all kinds of unwanted stuff, your backyard can also become a kind of dumping ground. If you’ve got a garage then chances are you’ve got stuff stacked behind it like piles of wood or car parts. This might even be where you old grill has gone to serve its final days. Beyond being an eyesore keeping junk like that around isn’t safe. And if you’re going to have kids running around on the 4th then you definitely want to get rid of that junk.
The professional junk haulers at Junk King can pull their big ol’ empty truck right up into your driveway for load up. While they’re cleaning up the backyard, you can also get them to take a pass through your home to remove anything else you want gotten rid of. If it is busted or you’re never going to use it again then it’s really junk. Do you need to keep hanging onto that? You don’t have to when you’ve got Junk King Nashville on your side.
