It was touch and go whether or not Tamarac would have their big Fourth of July spectacular. Fortunately the rain stopped and spectators were rewarded not only with a beautiful sunset, but a fantastic fireworks display.

Hundreds of residents showed up for the free event on Friday night taking advantage of the nearby food trucks and bounce houses.  Many just relaxed and listened to the Valerie Tyson Band who rocked the Sportsplex with live music.

Sure the field was a little soggy from days of torrential rains, but the annual event won’t be remembered for that.  Residents, along with their friends and family spent the evening together to honor the freedom and liberties that our great country offers.
