Rotary July 4th Fireworks 2020
“Socially Distance Style’’
After months of the pandemic, the Rotary Club of Ashland decided it was especially important to celebrate our nation’s birthday with its traditional fireworks display. So the club’s 30-plus-year Independence Day tradition will continue on Saturday July 4 at Community Stadium —with a few modifications due to coronavirus concerns.
The response of our sponsors —and community — has been unbelievable. A huge thank you to all who make sure Ashland had its July 4th celebration during these trying times!
Be careful and be safe
- Social Distancing
