We had a family get together on the 4th. Plenty of food, family, friends, and fun.
That evening we went down to the river for the city fireworks display. I was just going to enjoy the show so didn't even bring a camera. So these were taken with my phone and merged together.
Mr. Medart is the gentleman that is responsible for restoration of the old Pearl Community Center and getting the monthly bluegrass shindig together 20 years ago. What was impossible to capture on camera is that every musician there had circled the entire auditorium and were playing while he sang.
I live outside the city limits and our little community volunteer fire department puts on a top notch fireworks display themselves for a fundraiser. I'd not ever used my GoPro for stills and not even though about Fireworks but I had just watched a tutorial on how to do it so gave it a shot.
The Helen Marie Taylor Museum of Waco History is a bit of an enigma in Waco. It has been closed to the public for regular tours since 1998, but available by appointment. Ms. Taylor is in her 90's and lives in Virginia and rarely comes back to Waco. Some folks got a hold of her and convinced her to hold an open house recently. It was a treat as I had not been in there since grade school. It is in an old school and this is the auditorium. It was well attended and the hope is that she saw enough people to try to get it open regular again.
