fourth of july

There's nothing like celebrating the Fourth of July than with a great fireworks show. And thankfully we've had some great (and rainy!) weather this year in Tyler and East Texas, so that means fireworks will be blowing up all over the area this weekend.

One thing you should know about me is that I am pretty much a girl raised in the suburbs. I'm not crazy about critters in the wild. I love my two cats dearly, but other varmints - not so much -  especially snakes. I am not a fan, at all - I don't even visit the reptile exhibit at Caldwell Zoo...

Taylor Swift helped America celebrate its 237th birthday by beaming in her performance of 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' from her Dallas, Texas show to the live broadcast.

Mariah Carey, an American pop music treasure, opened the 2013 edition of the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular with a rousing rendition of 'America the Beautiful.' The special was hosted by her high-energy hubby Nick Cannon, who said she is his favorite artist. Well duh, of course he is biased.

Selena Gomez hit the stage at Liberty State Park tonight (July 4) to perform her hit single 'Come & Get It' for the 2013 edition of the Macy's Fourth of July Spectacular, with the brand new World Trade Center building, which is still being erected, looming large in the background. ...

The Fourth of July is just a little over two weeks away! The day will be filled with burgers, friends, family, snack food, time on the lake and fireworks! Kids of all ages love a great fireworks show and one of the biggest fireworks shows in East Texas will be happening at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens!

On an average weekend, drinking too much and getting behind the wheel is a bad idea. And this week and weekend we've got a fun holiday full of barbecues, family time, and hanging out with friends. By all means, live it up! But there is extra incentive now to have someone else drive your happy self home.

Taylor Swift celebrated America’s birthday with a special brood. The country star spent Fourth of July with Patrick Schwarzenegger and members of the Kennedy family on Wednesday.

There is no better song for Katy Perry to perform at the annual televised ‘Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular’ in New York City than her smash hit ‘Firework.’ It’s as fitting as it gets, so that’s just what one of pop music’s national treasures did last night (July 4).

While the rest of us were enjoying a lengthy 4th of July fireworks show last night, San Diego residents got completely robbed when their display went off all at once in a spectacular explosion that lasted a mere 15 seconds.

The legend of America’s birth is only 236 years old. However, in that short amount of time, a number of legends that would normally take centuries to grow and multiply in any other civilization have sprung up.

The Dam Fireworks Show with Mix 93-1 on Saturday night was a blast. Thank you to all who came, and if you went, check out some awesome photographs from the event!
