Here is a picture page of residents from Wagram’s Deercroft community celebrating Independence Day with a morning parade around the neighborhood. Golf cart, antique car, and motorcycle entries were judged on patriotism, with awards given at a potluck dinner that evening. The Scotland County Sheriff’s Office, Springhill Fire Department, and North Carolina Forest Service brought up the parade’s rear.
