July 3, 2014. It was a dark
and stormy night. It rained.
Like, really rained in the
Copa. Though everyone was
ecstatic about actual H2O
falling from the sky, the next
morning, everyone was
wondering if the Great American
4th at Copper Sky was going to be
postponed.
The City was on it though. They began
pumping water off the fields before the
crack of dawn and by mid-day, City
Manager Gregory Rose gave us the
official word that the party was still on.
Yes, there were some wet spots, but
those that came out to hear Tyler
Music and Laura Walsh, to watch
the fireworks extravaganza, to enjoy
the atmosphere at Copper Sky, those
people had a good time.
