Rockets’ red glare — in the puddles
Some Yellow Springs July 4th festivities took place and some didn’t on Wednesday, thanks to intermittent storms. Organizers cancelled the afternoon parade at the last minute, but some villagers had a good time downtown anyway. In the evening, the rains held off just long enough for the annual fireworks display at Gaunt Park. The parade has been rescheduled for Saturday.

Right: Kaden Boutis and Lucas Hudson-Groves (in back) float Fritos in the stormwater run-off as a consolation to the cancellation.
