The Superior Volunteer Fire Department is again making plans to present a free fireworks show at Brodstone Memorial Field as a climax to Superior’s July 4th activities.

While coordinated by the members of the fire department, the annual show is paid for by donors who appreciate the show.

Like in past years, donations may be sent to the Fireworks Fund in care of the Superior Volunteer Fire Department at P.O. Box 157. Superior, Nebraska 68978.

As usual, the day will begin with the Firekracker Run. The runners and walkers will depart from City Park at 8 a.m. This year marks the 39th annual running of the race.

The race regularly draws contestants from all around the United States as people here visiting relatives and friends for the Fourth enter the race.

Last year it was a unique event as the race was run virtually. The entries ran wherever they were on their own and reported their times via the internet.

The Superior Joggers hold the distinction of being Superior Publishing Company’s longest-term screen printed T-shirt customer. Last year’s design was unique for it included a picture of a COVID cell and indicated the race winner was COVID. The Joggers have given to those who enter T-Shirts of a different design each year.
