- Irish Hills on Devils Lake also has an annual 4th of July fireworks. Beginning after dark, a large barge is brought out the the sand bar where the fireworks are shot off. The last few years this is where we have been. The show is well worth the drive as it is long and some of the best displays I have ever seen.
- Dexter, Michigan begins its celebration with a concert at the Hudson Mills Park at 7:00. The fireworks begin at 10 or after dark. This is a hugely popular event so you need to plan to leave early so you are not sitting in traffic for the fireworks.
Regardless of where you celebrate the 4th of July, take a moment to reflect on the big "why' of why we celebrate. We celebrate the birthday of our Great Nation where a few men and an entire nation broke the chains of bondage and birthed One Nation, Under God, Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for all.
