Dundalk 4th of July Fireworks
Photography by David Robert Crews
The photographs in the slide show above were taken during several different Dundalk Fourth of July Celebrations. Start the slide show, and a button with four arrows on it will appear in the bottom right corner of the black box. That button puts the slide show into FULL SCREEN mode. In full screen mode, the fireworks photo show looks fantastically stupendous. Enjoy.

The 2010 Fourth of July Weekend in Dundalk, Maryland USA
America's biggest and best three day 4th of July Independence Day Celebration will be held on July 2nd, 3rd and 4th, 2010, in the Baltimore, Maryland suburb of Dundalk, in Baltimore County.
Every year, world famous music artists play great concerts in Dundalk Heritage Park, at the Dundalk Heritage Fair, during the Fourth of July Independence Day Celebration weekend. There's also lots of enjoyable music played by other - foot-tappin'-good-get-up-and-dance - music artists, there are plenty of fun and interesting activities for children and adults to get into, the fair's crafts area is well stocked and very nicely presented, there are local history booths - including school alumni associations, and the food is tummy terrific.
The 2010 Dundalk Heritage Fair will be held on July 2nd, 3rd and 4th in beautifully tree shaded and grass carpeted Dundalk Heritage Park. The park is located behind quaint, historic Dundalk Village Shopping Center, which is at Dundalk Avenue and Center Place. Fair hours are 12pm to 10pm. Children under 12 get into the Heritage Fair for free, adults pay $5.00.
On Friday, July 2nd, The Mahoney Brothers Long Live The Beatles show will begin at 7:30pm on the main stage. Someone once told me that Ringo Starr was asked - on the Howard Stern Show - how he felt about Beatles tribute bands, and Ringo replied, "I don't mind as long as they're good, like The Mahoney Brothers."

On Saturday, July 3rd, Bowzer's Rock 'n' Roll Party will begin at 8pm on the main stage. You can see the kinds of old time Rock and Roll greats he brings to his shows at:

On Sunday, July 4th, The Turtles concert - featuring Flo and Eddie - will begin at 8pm on the main stage. They're a band of great musicians who have professional histories of performing and recording with all kinds of other famous Rock and Roll stars: including Todd Rundgren, Hot Tuna, Alan Parsons, Meat Loaf, Edgar Winter, The Cars, Lou Christie, and Paul McCartney; and they have been on many TV shows, worked on Broadway and on films, have been in videos and featured in music industry magazines, and on and on; and Flo and Eddie have great music histories too, which includes singing with Baltimore born Frank Zappa on four Mothers of Invention albums and a movie. There is no telling which fantastic Rock 'n' Roll tunes they will play, because they sure are some hard core, long time Rock and Rollers. Check out their impressive music bios at:

Setting Up Dundalk Maryland's 2006 4th of July Fireworks Display
I have to make sure that all of you readers know that no fireworks are in those tubes.
The explosives were still in the back of the truck that the stuff was transported in when the little girl and I were up there talking to the guys setting up the show. The girl in the photos is the daughter of the man on the left. They are my cousins. That's little Kelsey and her dad Kevin.
It wouldn't be bad if it was just me up there taking photos and the mortar tubes had already been loaded up with fireworks shells, because I did two years in the Army. I used to go on Army photo assignments to missile sites where there were Nike Hercules Missiles with nuclear war heads on them - I even patted one on the nose one time just so I could always be able to say I did it. I know how to be safe around any kind of explosives by following the directions of the pros on site, and I feel comfortable around explosives.
Photographs by David Robert CrewsONE MORE TIME, BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS IT WRONG--THE FIREWORKS CREW ONLY ALLOWED THE LITTLE GIRL AND I TO GO NEAR THE MORTAR TUBES BECAUSE THEY WERE EMPTY AND THE LIVE FIREWORKS SHELLS WERE STORED OVER IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK THAT YOU COULD HAVE DRIVEN RIGHT NEXT TO YOU THAT DAY WHEN IT WAS ON THE WAY TO THE SHOW.
