At long last I will finish this series with a bang. I took this one on the Fourth. However, if you want to see fireworks in Southern Oregon on the day before the Fourth you can at Lake of the Woods. Those are even better thanks to the reflection.
I always assumed that on fancy firework displays a button was pushed and everything went off like a computer program. It appears that each one is being lit individually. Thanks for these “behind the scenes” shots Amanda.
I’ll complete the Independence Day series tomorrow with a shot taken at the same time as the above from a mile away.
It has been almost a month since the festivities of the 4th, but I still have dozens of pics to share. I’ll wrap things up over the next few days and then share the rest next year (when we won’t be around Ashland anyway).
Amanda got to help set up the fireworks display so these exclusive shots (today and tomorrow) are from her.
This is on Iowa Street between the SOU softball and soccer fields.
Another shot of the Macaroni’s band…
I think one of the missing letters had yet to be found at this point before the parade, but he made it in time.
There were a couple of roller derby entrants (Southern Oregon RollerGirls and Southern Oregon Roller Derby) in the parade this year. I overheard one of the younger participants (who apparently wasn’t from Ashland and was experiencing the festivities for the first time) say to another, “Boy, Ashland really loves and goes all out for the Fourth of July.”
About an hour before the parade started…
