Rain didn’t dampen the enthusiasm for the 3rd of July fireworks show sponsored by the City of Mountlake Terrace at Ballinger Park Sunday evening. Hundreds gathered early to enjoy a DJ, games and food trucks, plus a performance by the Mountlake Terrace High School Jazz 1 combo and a welcome from city officials.

It was a beautiful show as always but we stood in line for hours to get food. By the time we got to order they were running out of things. Suddenly our order went from 6 items to 3. Sadly MANY folks behind us didn’t get anything. Believe me the lines were LONG! By the time we actually got our food the show had already been going so we ended up heading to the car. I know things don’t always go as planned, but maybe next year food is earlier so all can enjoy the show.
