Many have heard the saying “As American as apple pie.” But I have to say when I see fireworks during the Independence Day festivities it does inspire a sense of American pride.

The City of Clearlake will be again hosting a fireworks display at twilight on the shore of Austin Park, Clearlake. Pyro Spectacular will be setting off the fireworks this year on Saturday, July 5, paid for through the generous donations from the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce members.
