It was a jam-packed Valley Grande City Park on Monday Night with citizens of Valley Grande, Orrville and Selma came to watch the firework show in celebration of the fourth of July.

The smell of shaved ice, hot dogs, popcorn and bbq filled the park air as citizens young and old got their spots to be able to see the fireworks. It a was nice night for everyone to come out and enjoy the family fun. Glow sticks were being handed out that were red white and blue in support of the occasion while people walked around with red white and blue on their shirts or hats.

Some of the little league teams practiced before the fireworks started. The firework show went on for 20 minutes and an estimated 200 people  roared in approval as the finale lit up the night sky.

Valley Grande City Councilwoman Sara Day was pleased with the attendance and the team who put the show on.

“It was a great Great turnout,” Day said. “It was an excellent show. Thanks to Pyro Productions who never disappoints! Thank you to Dallas County Sheriff dept and Valley Grande Volunteer Fire dept for their assistance as well.”

Day received praise on Social Media from Valley Grande residents after the fireworks show.

“It was amazing and Mama loved it,” said Lynn Bearden, Day’s mother. “You are the greatest City Councilwoman ever!! I am so proud of you and everything you do.”

Ashley Barlow added that Day always does a great job hosting special events.
