Eudora celebrates with blast July 7, 2008

Eudora celebrated the nation's birthday with fireworks, ranging from firecrackers, backyard fireworks and the community display at the middle school.

The city spent $6,000 on the fireworks that were set off in the field between the middle school and the high school.
