44th 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 East- wold had a vision for a fire- works 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 eventu- ally was relocated to the Bull Shoals-White River State Park, where fireworks are shot over Bull Shoals Lake. John’s son, Steve Eastwold, has shot the fireworks every year and con- tinues to oversee the display. The Bull Shoals Lake-White River Chamber of Commerce decided to honor John by naming the display after him.
