The skies in the town of Arthur will soon be set alight again during its famed annual fireworks show.  This year’s show takes place on Saturday, June 27 from the baseball field at Jurgens Park.  The show has attracted over 50,000 visitors – nearly 25 times the town’s own population – in past years, and organizers are hoping for a similar or better outcome this year.

Larry Schlabaugh helps put on this annual event.  He says the “fireballs” that are lit up are what make Arthur’s show unique from others. 

As this year marks 250 years of the United States’ independence, Schlabaugh decided this year’s show should have at least as many fireballs. 

The fireballs – or at least a subset of them – can be seen from far away.  Interested viewers can also buy tickets to gain priority access to watch directly from the Jurgens Park baseball field.  Those tickets are now on sale for $10 each. 

More information on the Arthur fireworks is available at their Facebook page.
