The celebration in Memorial Park was spectacular once again!  For a great place on July 4th, the Colorado Springs event is the place to be.  You can relax with your friends and family during the day (no dogs please), set up some shelter, cook or get sustanence at one of the food booths. (The sopapillas were delicious!), and wait for the music and fireworks to begin in the evening.

The soldiers who volunteered their time to shoot the cannons for the 1812 Overture and the Starwars Theme did an excellent job!  Thanks for doing that for all of us.  It makes the 4th a special and unique night in the Rockies.  The mix of music by the Philharmonic was fun and the timing of the fireworks display with the firing of the first cannon had the crowd roaring.  Continuing the cannons into the Starwars Theme was inspired.  I’m sure the soldiers had fun with that!

We hope the 2 fireworks that burst on the ground didn’t hurt anyone.  The display was fantastic with another awe inspiring finale.  This is a great land we live in.  Colorado Springs is a great place to raise a family and enjoy the beauty of the Rocky Mountains.  America the Beautiful is right here in our own community.
