The fireworks display after the final concert is a highlight of Sundown Salute.

Bennett Fireworks provided the fireworks show which was watched by several thousand people in downtown Junction City Saturday night.

Sundown Salute Director Sharon Glessner discussed the fireworks. “The fireworks show went really well.  It was a lot better than last year. Of course, we had the music accompanying it. I did hear from Roger ( Roger Bennett ) that there was a little glitch towards the end, and they were concerned about one of their workers getting so hurt so they had to stop. People missed the grand finale….everybody was waiting for that grand finale and it just didn’t come. And he apologized for that. But it was still a great show.”
