Independence Day 2001 Gallery

By 2001, the word was out about the wild 4th of July Party in North Platte. People from all over swarmed to the scene. Well, maybe not swarmed, but there were a few more people. But, more importantly, careful saving throughout the year allowed for a much larger stockpile of fireworks.
