Then came the fireworks

Chester puts on its own fireworks display every Independence Day. People from all over on both sides of the Mighty Ohio settle back on porches and alleys to watch.

Our Back Porch family joined several others in the back alley between the rows of homes to take advantage of the tree-less view of the show. About 10 pm, the "bombs bursting in air" thriller launched. It really was a fantastic and exciting display! Kudos to Chester!

This one was a patriotic red, white & blue.

Nancy and Mom delight in a set of the larger fireworks.


A red supergiant explodes before Jay's eyes.

And the show was capped off by unusual and interesting pyrotechnic variations.

The evening concluded with -- what else -- entertainment of the feline type (no extra charge).
