Summary
Plano recapped a successful All American Fourth celebration featuring the Rotary Clubs of Plano parade, hometown spelling bee champion Faizon Zaki, fireworks over Oak Point Park and 10 gerbils available for adoption.
Plano reported the annual All American Fourth celebration proceeded without major incident, beginning with the Rotary Clubs of Plano parade and ending with a fireworks display over Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve. Steve Stoler, Plano’s media relations director, named 13‑year‑old Faizon Zaki of Rice Middle School as a featured parade participant; Stoler noted Zaki recently won the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee.
