4th of July in Ozark

It was my first time to celebrate the 4th of July. I was excited when Jeff told me that there'll be fireworks display in the evening. I was rearing to go but the weather wasn't that great. It started to rain and the skies were gloomy hours before the scheduled fireworks display. But that didn't stop us from going out to eat dinner then we headed to the fairgrounds to wait for the show. I was amazed to see a lot of vehicles parked with people also waiting to watch the display of fireworks. I've never seen that much people in Ozark in one venue. I felt excited and reminiscent of the Sinulog celebration. Although I know Sinulog is way more fun and crowded but Ozark is a small town with only a little over 3,000 population so it surprised me when I saw a gathering of crowd like that, moreso, there was a congested traffic on our way home which had never happened within my 9 months of living here. Anyway, I had so much fun and of course I took a bunch of pictures during that night.
