If you missed watching fireworks on July 4th, it's no problem. Icon photographer Ken Collins, took photos of the Fourth of July celebration at Faurot Park in Lima.
One of the musical groups at the event was the Lima Area Concert Band, which draws its members from Ada and Bluffton and beyond.
Before the fireworks, some folks were sending Chinese sky lanterns floating into the sky over Lima.
Fireworks, rides, and food were other attractions.
