A Beautiful Spectacle
Whoosh!
The breeze flutters as blankets unroll, and picnic baskets overflow with watermelon, pasta salad, and sandwiches.
Splash!
Sodas are pulled from ice-cold coolers while beer gardens pour from flowing kegs. The sights and sounds of rides, games, dunk tanks, and booths shout fun as laughter resounds through parks and kids play on playgrounds. The crack of the bat echos from Randall Oaks Park as the sun sets against the skyline. And suddenly…
Bang! Pop!
The blackened sky ignites over the trees, showering the starry night with colors of red, blue, yellow, and green.
“Oohs” and “ahs” are heard from the crowd as sparks fly and whistle, sizzle and whirl, creating a vivid atmosphere of brilliant light above the trees. Energy is high and eyes are turned skyward as hundreds of people watch in awe.
This is the setting for one of our most beloved American holidays and events –
