Following last yearâs cancellation, Logan will put on a firework show for Independence Day, not at Utah State University, but at Willow Park for the first time in at least 20 years.
âWe took note of how the public responded to the stateâs anniversary in January,â said Russ Akina, the Parks and Recreation director. âAnd the feeling was that, in some of the comments that we received, was that this was great timing for what everybodyâs been going through. It was a good diversion to COVID and the suffering, while still staying safe.â
Akina viewed the Jan. 4 firework display from the Logan Golf Course parking lot and said that while it was hard to gauge crowd size at the local celebration of Utahâs 125th anniversary of statehood, âit was a sea of headlights similar to what weâd have at our Pioneer Day events.â
