Sitting here on the western edge of McPherson Kansas, the sights and sounds of fireworks have been entertaining us non-stop for almost 3 hours. From the city’s main exhibition to the private neighborhood displays, the fireworks have been going off continually since shortly after sundown! The fireworks will taper off around midnight, as the local curfew kicks in, but till now it’s been pretty exciting (and loud!).
Based on previous visits and comments from my brother and sister, this is fairly typical; I think the 4th really is celebrated wth a bit more gusto and enthusiasm in small town, midwest America.
