Many local communities are getting ready for their 4th of July celebrations. As we’ve previously reported on KNIA/KRLS, the Pleasantville community is holding an all-day benefit for seven-year-old Alyssa Scheve on Independence Day. Scheve is recovering after having a brain tumor removed in May. Bussey is hosting a 5k and 1k run on the 4th, with events occurring throughout the day. Finally, fireworks return to Knoxville for the first time in several years. They’ll take place at dusk on the west side of town.
