GOOSE CREEK, S.C.–The City of Goose Creekโ€™s โ€œFabulous Fourth in the Creekโ€ celebration has been canceled due to heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours. The field used for parking at the Municipal Center is susceptible to flooding, and would not be safe for use on July 4.

โ€œWe are extremely disappointed to have to cancel,โ€ Recreation Director Gary Stuber said. โ€œBecause of the amount of rain, there was simply not enough time for our parking area to dry out before tomorrowโ€™s event.โ€

The cancellation due to rainfall is only the second in the eventโ€™s 28-year history. The event will not be rescheduled.
