Once again, people from all over the region gathered on the lawn at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site to see something beautiful in the sky.

Across the lawn, country music blared on speakers as people laid out blankets, set up tents and hauled coolers to get ready for the fort’s annual Fourth of July fireworks show sponsored by Columbia Credit Union, The Historic Trust and the city of Vancouver.
