Texoma ready for fireworks

It’s that time of year where we prepare to celebrate the birth of our great country and Texoma is filled with many opportunities to get your pyromania fix. Lights on the Lake at Pecan Grove Park in Sherman will kick off the festive weekend on Thursday, July 2 with a festival starting at 5:30. The annual Sherman event attracts around 5,000 annually and kids can enjoy themselves with bounce houses while adults can enjoy the food vendors.

Denison’s July 4 Fireworks Extravaganza will take place a Munson Stadium at Forest Park. The free event also pulls a large audience from all over the area. Howe has chosen to be the region’s finale by closing out the show on Sunday night (which is not kind to a Monday morning publication). Last year, Howe Fire Department’s fireworks show lasted 47 minutes which had music accompanied by New Beginning Fellowship. Just as a year ago, HFD plans to have live music, hot dogs, hamburgers, dunking booths and vendors to create a festive atmosphere to celebrate Independence Day.

Other area firework shows include Cedar Mills Marina on July 4 from 7-10:30. Tanglewood will have their annual fireworks show on Sunday, July 5.
