A free concert started the night and a large crowd showed up to enjoy the evening. It was followed by a large fireworks display. Neighbors were parked all over town in their lawn chairs to enjoy the festivities! Lots of young and young-at-heart had their own fireworks to go along with the fireworks from the city that lit up the night sky in Eastern Jackson County.
