PUTNAM — On Sunday,July 1, the Putnam Fireworks went off with the first booms and flash- es of light filling the sky at approximately 9:15 p.m. While rain showers threatened the event, Parks and Recreation Director Willie Bosquet made the call that the show would go on. With Rotary Park full of spectators out to enjoy the day’s events anyone who visited the park were treated to smells of fried food, the sounds of Cold Train, and glow toys illuminating the evening sky.Alex’s Lemonade Stand was up and running for the second year in a row, operated by some very civically minded young children from the area, along with that stand were many other community booths lining the park that night. The fireworks show lasted about 30 minutes, with thousands of people standing by to watch the display.

People line Kennedy Drive waiting for the fireworks show and listening to the music.

Mark and April Berquist come to the fireworks every year, and always love the display.

Nothing like a game of monkey in the middle to kick off the Fourth of July celebrations.

Lots of food venders were set up, such as French fries, funnel cake, and many more tasty treats for people to try.

Movin’ and groovin’ to the music, these ladies know how to get down!

Cold Train takes the stage as the night’s festivities begin.
