City fireworks light up the night

One Facebook follower likely summed up the City’s fireworks show from Monday night the best; he stated, “Was a great fireworks show!”
Another posted that it was the “best in years.”
Some said it seemed everyone was ready to get out and celebrate together. The last 2 years have been overshadowed with the pandemic.
A Shelbyville police officer remarked it was the largest local July 4 crowd he’d ever seen.
There were a few posting about traffic woes. But when you try to pack thousands into one side of town, it is likely to be slow.
Traffic was for the most part good. Many thanked responders and police.
There was plenty of food and music at H.V. Griffin Park.
Over all, park officials note it was a good day, and night, to be in Shelbyville.
Even one first-time spectator was very complimentary to the show.
