Wayland will celebrate Independence Day with its annual summer celebration. Member of the Independence Day celebration planning committee, Robin Rich, says new this year is a raffle that will give the winners a unique experience during the fireworks display that’s held at the WACO Football Field. The first prize is seating on the 50 yard line and pizza for eight people, second is seating on the 40 yard line and pizza for four and the third is ice cream sundaes and seating on the 30 yard line. All proceeds from the raffle will go toward a new fire truck for the Wayland Fire Department. Live entertainment and a dance on main street will follow.
