Fireworks were, o f course,
the main attraction, but 800
fans came to the field earlier in
the evening to watch the boys’
baseball game that led off the
program at 6 p.m.
By the time the Waterball
Fight put on by Sandy, Boring
and Estacada fire districts got
underway shortly after 8 p.m.,
over two thousand spectators
rimmed the field and filled the
grandstand.
Warm weather and sunny
skies that dispelled all fears o f
predicted showers, brightened
the holiday mood o f the
crowd.

about, but enjoying the excitement anyhow was

gave enthusiastic applause to
the Rev. Jim Davis, pastor of
the Sandy Assembly o f God,
for his brief but inspiring talk
on why he was glad to be an
American.
After all the preliminaries,
the fireworks might have been
anti-climatic, but they were

pronounced them just about
perfect for color, variety,
