Fireworks light up Lee Richardson Zoo as town celebrates Independence Day
At Lee Richardson Zoo crowds gathered on West Green for a July Fourth display. Andres Hernandez of Garden City and his wife Yrani Baca attended with reflections on freedom and family. The Garden City Municipal Band opened with patriotic classics led by director Clint Raynes. The band has performed since 1879 with no breaks through wars, ending with John Williams Midway March as their favorite. This story continues on page A5.
