Krugerville celebrates Fourth, Park Fest

Krugerville’s Park Fest returned for another year, this time ending with a bang.

This year was special because not only was it a celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary, but the city also hosted its first professional fireworks show, an idea sparked by local resident John Nipe.

“Six years ago, John Nipe, president of the CDC at the time, he had a dream; he wanted fireworks over there,” Mayor/Event Coordinator Rodney Cagle said, before the first round of fireworks shot up over the lake, illuminating the night sky.
