Central PA 4th Fest didn’t have its typical Independence Day celebration for the second year in a row, but the annual event did team up with the State College Spikes to put on a fireworks spectacular on Sunday night.
A record crowd of 7,183 people packed into Medlar Field at Lubrano Park for the Spikes’ late afternoon game against the Trenton Thunder, shattering the previous single-game attendance record of 6,111 set in 2016.
Trenton stole the thunder and produced most of the fireworks on the field, taking a 12-3 victory. Nevertheless, the fans in attendance were treated to a booming display afterward.
