Here just a few scenes from the fireworks display over the Millponds in Monroe last Saturday evening, where the crowd was thick and the lawn surrounding the ponds were covered with groups of people - young, old and in between. Photos by Sammi Finch.
The Georgia 5 Band kicked off the party as vendors and food trucks lined Lake Street prior to the display, with many people, including these four young girls dancing as only young girls can dance.
As the firework show concluded, the thunder began to roll in, giving its own applause of the firework show.
As the sun set and the crowd waited for the show to start - people danced along to the band. When the music ended, cheering erupted as the first fireworks illuminated the sky with brilliant colors.
After sweeping rain storms across the Hudson Valley postponed the Monroe Fireworks twice over the previous weekend, locals were finally able to gather along the Millponds for the annual festivities last Saturday.
