It’s the Fourth of July in Mid-Michigan and that means there’s no shortage of things lighting up the night sky. From carnivals, to hot air balloon festivals

For Dr. Ken Leach of Siloam Springs, who earned a Purple Heart and a bronze star for his actions in the Vietnam War, fireworks were a favorite thing as a kid.

Those who can't make the fireworks spectacular in person can catch the show on live TV, airing locally on WHDH from 7-10 p.m. and nationally on The CW Network from 9-10 p.m. Contributing: Bailey Allen,
