If you missed watching fireworks on July 4th, it's no problem. Icon photographer Ken Collins, took photos of the Fourth of July celebration at Faurot Park in Lima.
One of the musical groups at the event was the Lima Area Concert Band, which draws its members from Ada and Bluffton and beyond.
Before the fireworks, some folks were sending Chinese sky lanterns floating into the sky over Lima.
Fireworks, rides, and food were other attractions.

Mark your calendar now for the Hardin County Precision Ag Field Day to be held Aug. 23 at Kellogg Farms, 17392 Township Road 50 near Forest.
Bill and Shane Kellogg have committed 305 acres to the Blanchard River Demonstration Farms Network in cooperation with Ohio Farm Bureau and USDA.
Existing edge of field research shows that placing nutrients below ground dramatically decreases potential for nutrient losses. This farm utilizes subsurface placement of nutrients using strip tillage techniques. Cost savings and yield benefits that can be achieved by improving nutrient efficiencies by subsurface nutrient placement are being measured.
