Fireworks went off without a hitch at Lake Shelbyville on the 4th thanks to both the dedicated US Army Corps of Engineers and responsible actions by citizens who attended. Ashley Florey, Natural Resource Specialist with the Corps of Engineers says that the lake was the busiest it has been in the last five years.

Despite heavy traffic on the water, Florey calls the Independence Day preparations routine at this point.

Florey says that with all parking lots full, no accidents or incidents is a great thing for not only the Army Corps of Engineers but also the Shelbyville Chamber of Commerce and the many vendors on hand.

Here is July’s lake update at Lake Shelbyville. Florey says that holiday celebrations are not yet over so continue to practice safety while on the water.
