In 2019, little did people viewing the fireworks that were launched from a farmer’s field between Bridge Street and Goldfield Avenue in Yerington know that it would be 2 long years before they again saw the 4th of July pyrotechnics… felt the reverberations in their bodies…or heard the explosions. (Update: thank you to Beka Graham for this reminder: “We did have fireworks in Yerington in 2020 thanks to some wonderful community donations.”)

Local photojournalist Roberta Bryant shared these photos taken from Mason Valley’s 4th of July Celebration in 2019:

Put your pets in a safe, secure place; then join your neighbors in celebrating the birthday of our country, wind permitting…
NO WIND PLEASE MOTHER NATURE!
