Thanks to the McCormick family for the spectacular fireworks show to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. Granddaughter Abigail Dickinson opened the event by singing the National Anthem. The exhilarating fireworks display that followed was thrilling to behold, and the show ended with a beautiful solemn playing of Taps. Thank you to all involved for the many hours of organizing, planning, and ex*****on that you gave to provide such a special night to so many. For all who were able to witness, it will be a beautiful lasting memory.
