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.

to a waiting crowd, but the parade was postponed. Right: Kaden Boutis
and Lucas Hudson-Groves (in back) float Fritos in the stormwater
run-off as a consolation to the cancellation.
