July 4th weekend is officially here and Lake Shelbyville is the host for fireworks and lake activities during the holiday weekend. Brock Key is a Ranger with the United States Army Corps of Engineers and is prepared for the eventful weekend as the Corps have been involved in shooting off the fireworks annually.
Ranger Key says the turnout is immense every year and this year will be no different. The fireworks will be ignited near the West Dam.
Some viewing points are better than others. Key explains that the West Dam, the East Dam, and the parking lot near the Dam will be open for viewing.
There will be live music and food vendors during the July 4th festivities at Lake Shelbyville, located in the West Dam Recreation Area parking lot at 3:00 P.M.
Ranger Key says the grand finale at the Lake Shelbyville firework show is one to remember. There are many efforts that go on behind the scenes from groups like the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Shelbyville County Chamber of Commerce that make the event possible.
The July 4th activities will kick off at 3 P.M. and the firework show will begin at dusk.
Ranger Brock Key appeared on the WTIM Morning Show in Shelbyville as a guest.
