Western Nebraska Observer - Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First

Colored smoke bombs were a favorite of this group of pre-Independence Day celebrators on Sunday. Elizebeth, 11, was lighting the fireworks while William, 6, and Jameson, 3, look on in their W. 4th Street neighborhood. The early celebrators were under the watchful eye of mom Katie Kaser and grandmother Ruth Knicely.
