Where will you be?

The Quad cities fireworks show will be held in the same location as years past.
It's usually been a good show, providing somewhere close for those living in North Richland Hills, Richland Hills, Watauga, and Haltom City to watch fireworks. The show seemed to improve last year, we wonder what this year will bring since the fireworks will be set off next to a gas drilling rig.

(Is this safe?)

If you are going, you can park at the Wiley G. Thomas Coliseum on Broadway, or the Richland Plaza shopping center on Hwy 26. The Coliseum sells refreshments and a church in Richland Plaza usually has something for the kids to do.

If you go to Coliseum, look towards Arlington. On a clear day, you can see the "8th Wonder of the World", also known as the Dallas Cowboys stadium.

Happy 4th of July!

KaBoom

The annual 4th of July Quad Cities Fireworks will be held in the same location this year. Some are surprised to hear that since the location is now a large gas drilling site. Which also happens to sit in a flood plain on Big Fossil Creek. Chesapeake is a sponsor of the event.

(Note: For some reason Watauga no longer participates in Quad cities)
