A celebration of red, white and blue...

This year's fireworks show was one of the top four displays in Idaho, according to officials with the Mountain Home Fire Department.

Temperatures climbing into the triple digits didn't discourage people from gathering in Carl Miller Park last Tuesday as the Mountain Home community came together to celebrate Independence Day.

One of southern Idaho's largest fireworks displays capped off a day filled with music and an assortment of entertainment and fun.

Across the community, the patriotic spirit came alive that day as households across town displayed American flags in their yards or on their houses.
