A big thank you to Dan Athen, Scott Jones and the Rock Port Fire Department for the tedious work they put into the fireworks display on the 4th of July. A special thanks to any group and/or individuals who volunteered their time to help with the activities at the park during the day. The Chamber of Commerce and the Rock Port Tourism Board are beginning to work on next year’s July 4th celebration. If you have any ideas or would like to be a part of the festivities, please let them know.
