I want to thank everyone who attended WTVM's Thunder on the Hooch on the 4th of July. I especially want to thank my staff for all their hard work to prepare for and run the event. 

The event went flawlessly and I am proud of their dedication to make Thunder happen year after year.

Thanks to Phenix City and the city of Columbus for all their support and assistance. And thanks to all of you who attended and helped to create a great environment to celebrate the birthday of our great nation. 

The entertainment on the Phenix City amphitheater stage was outstanding and well attended. We had a lot of great sponsors who make this event possible, I can't name them all here. 

Our two largest supporters were AFLAC and TIC Federal Credit Union.

 We have been presenting Thunder On the Hooch for 14 straight years now and we appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve our community on our nation's Day of Independence.
