42nd Annual John Eastwold Memorial Fireworks Display
Date: July 4 Place: Bull Shoals-White River State Park, over Bull Shoals Lake In the early 1970s, John
Eastwold had a vision for a fireworks display in the Bull Shoals-Lakeview area. In 1973, his vision became a reality and fireworks were shot off a pontoon boat tied to the buoys at the Bull Shoals Dam. The event grew and even- tually was relocated to the Bull Shoals-White River State Park, where fire- works are shot over Bull Shoals Lake. John’s son, Steve Eastwold, has shot the fireworks every year and continues to oversee the display. The Bull Shoals Lake-
White River Chamber of Commerce decided to honor John by naming the display after him.
