Big 4th of July celebration planned

by Nick Delgado

Guam - There will be more than just fireworks in the sky on the 4th of July. The 68th Guam Liberation Executive Committee and U.S. Army Major (Ret.) Tim Ohno will conduct a parachute demonstration at 6pm tomorrow at Tiyan carnival grounds. Ohno will be flying our nation's colors over the carnival in honor of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Sinajana vice mayor Robert Hofmann says residents will also hear a tribute to rock by local band Passenger Three playing hits from Bon Jovi and Aerosmith. The fireworks display starts at 9pm. "This year's fireworks are higher grade fireworks from what we normally seen, so this is the highest consumer grade fireworks allowed by law before we step into the commercial zone," he said.

After the fireworks show, reggae band For Peace will close out the night.
