Revisiting the Fireworks
Each year, the Needham Exchange Club hosts an incredible show of pyrotechnics on Memorial Field. The July 3rd display lived up to the reputation of its predecessors.
Staged by Pyrotecnico, the bombardment of fireworks bathed Memorial Park in an array of different colors–although for obvious reasons favoring red, white and blue! The show capped an evening of traditional Independence Day favorites, including pony rides, a pie-eating contest and a concert by the Reminisants.
Our thanks go to the Needham Channel’s Derick Risner, for recording and sharing this year’s show with us.
