— Though the day started off with thunder and rain, it ended with the boom of fireworks and a park filled with people celebrating Independence Day.

People came out in spite of the afternoon heat and humidity to play softball, be entertained by talented singers on the stage, visit with friends and neighbors and, of course, to enjoy the fireworks display at the close of the day's events.
