The Copa Issue 9 / July 2014 | Page 4

Photos by: Victor Moreno, David Burk, and Rosie Naranjo 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.
