Not Everyone Went to the Lake
for the 4th of July
By 100 Mile Mike
“Freedom Fest” on the 4th of July weekend was parking lot. Inside in the cool comfort of Gail’s
another excuse to have fun at Gail’s Harley-David- dealership, the ‘good luck’ bell was being rung to
son in Grandview, Missouri. Since the 4th of July announce more new Harleys being sold. What
fell on a Saturday this year, Gail Worth decided it more could you ask for? How about a blazing
would be an opportune time to have another booming bodacious fireworks finale? Yes! That
party at Gail’s Harley-Davidson. Friday afternoon was included also.
the festivities kicked off with Blue 88 cranking up Aerial FX Pyrotechnic Display Specialists
the volume of live musical entertainment in the (www.aerialfx.com) from St. Joseph, Missouri pro-
parking lot. The grills were full of free food in the vided the grand fireworks finale. Friday evening,
shortly after sunset, they shot off more than 600
professional grade 3”-5” shells, and more than
400 multishot ‘cakes’ to supply an amazing visual
and audio spectacle, from the vacant ground just
on the north side of the dealership building. All
eyes were focused skyward.
Before all of the nighttime action in the sky,
there was definitely a party going on in and around
Gail’s. There were bouncy inflatables, like a moon-
walk and slide, for kids to play on in the parking lot.
You could chow down on free burgers and dogs.
