It&squo;s party time in Polk County this weekend!

Tomorrow, Columbus will celebrate the nation&squo;s independence with its annual Fab 4th festival, complete with live entertainment, art and craft items, a rock climbing wall and, of course, fireworks.

Then, on Saturday, you can go up the mountain to Saluda for the 45th annual Coon Dog Day. This year&squo;s event offers a parade, arts and crafts vendors, amusement vendors, live music, an evening street dance and a range of coon dog contests and activities.
