Though there were a number of calls regarding illegal fireworks during the long holiday period, officials in Escalon didn’t report any other major issues for July 4. Community residents, however, did turn out in force for a special celebration hosted by Escalon Covenant Church at the Escalon Community Center on Friday, July 3. With bounce houses, an obstacle course, face painting, music, sno-cones, music and a freshly prepared barbecue dinner, the gathering drew hundreds of residents to the park.
