Fireworks blast the sky over Dewey

July 6, 2021

Highway One's Fourth of July Fireworks on Rehoboth Bay lit up the sky Sunday night while throngs of people crowded local hot spots to watch the magnificent display. The fireworks were set off from a barge in Rehoboth Bay about 9:30 p.m. Chants of “U-S-A, U-S-A” could be heard over the bay from local establishments. Patriotism was prevalent as a loud rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” was sung by all before the display hit the sky.
