Happy 250th!! (w/ video)

by: The North Platte Bulletin - Jul. 5, 2026

We enjoy our freedom because, on July 4 in 1776, America declared to the world the radical but self-evident truth that every person is created equal.

Limitless human dignity protected by limited government — that’s what the United States is all about. – Former Sen. Ben Sasse

We hope you had an extra-special, extra-happy Independence weekend on the 250th celebration of the Declaration. The 250th celebrations are expected to continue.

The photos are of the spectacular fireworks show at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds on the night of July 4, produced by the North Platte Optimists.

Photos by George Lauby. See video of 40 seconds of the show below.
