Cedar Rapids Fourth of July Celebrations Highlighted
The Cedar Rapids Fourth featured a grand imported celebration on the fair grounds with a balloon ascent that failed to inflate, a large crowd, and a local music display by Bohemian vocalists. The issue notes strong civic pride, Excursions, and remarks on public events while praising local businesses and lamenting the failed balloon stunt.
