STATLER BROTHERS' GIVE LAST FOURTH OF JULY CONCERT

Virginia's Fourth of July marked the end of a 25-year tradition in Staunton. About 100,000 people boot-scooted into the Western Virginia town for the 25th and final ``Happy Birthday U.S.A.'' concert by the city's favorite sons, country music's Statler Brothers. The group said this would be their last Independence Day appearance. by CNB
