Sparks packs park

Masonic Lodge hits home run with Fourth affair
Thanks in part to unseasonably cool temperatures Sunday evening, a tremendous crowd turned out for Ash Grove’s annual Sparks in the Park Fourth of July celebration. In a letter of appreciation from Ash Grove Mayor Caleb Smith to event organizers Ash Grove Masonic Lodge #100, Smith called the day a “resounding success” and thanked the organization for their efforts in hosting the exceptional gathering.  (Photos by Ryan Squibb)
