4th of July Celebration at Slate Run

This year I drove down to Slate Run to check out their fireworks. It was a clear cool night and the turn out was good. The fireworks has a major benefactor, Mitch and JoAnn. It is Mitch's birthday on the 4th and he celebrates by contributing the largest part of the donation to buy the fireworks. The rest is given by public donation and money raised at the small stand selling roasted banana splits. The banana splits have mini-chocolate chips, marshmallows, covered in whipped cream. A real diet buster.
The show started around 9:30pm and lasted about 45 minutes of a
stream of light and sound. They sang the Star-spangled banner to start it and since they were standing on the bridge at Slate Run it echoed off the mountains. It was a very unusual sound effect. I am sure there was at least a hundred cars parked around with 300-500 people watching, although it was difficult to tell since they were spread out so much. I probably took 50 pictures of the fireworks, and I am sharing a few with you here. Hope you all had a great 4th. Mountain girl, Paula, logging out.
