also explain more about their airplanes allowing young people to
discover how airplanes work and how pilots ensure safety before each
flight. Following the flight, each young person will receive a

July 4 - Independence Celebration
The Town of Springerville holds its annual
event including
a
parade,
a rodeo,
and a fireworks show at the Springerville Airport. The parade
starts in the late morning, beginning in the neighbor town of Eagar, and
finishes in Springerville. All residents and neighboring
communities are open to participate, and the result is a colorful
display of floats, bands, and horseback riders showcasing the best of
northeastern Arizona. The sanctioned rodeo lasts for two days and
is sponsored by the Apache County Sheriff's Posse.
UPDATE: The fireworks show was awesome.
One might expect a small show for a relatively small town, but the throngs of
people who managed to get a good spot were dazzled by the spectacular
display of light and sound. The incredible turn out will hopefully
insure a bigger and more amazing production next year.
