LYNDONVILLE – The fireworks are shown Thursday night with a reflection in Johnson Creek by the waterfalls.

Young Explosives put on a 45-minute show with big booms and bright lights. It was the largest show in the company’s 75-year history.

The Lyndonville Lions Club pushed for a bigger show than usual to commemorate the club’s 50^th anniversary of organizing the Fourth of July festivities in Lyndonville.

The show began with the lighting of a “50” display in honor of the Lions Club’s 50 Fourth of July festivals.

These kids sit on top of a vehicle to take in the experience of the fireworks.

Here are some reactions posted on the Orleans Hub Facebook page:

Stephanie Waszak: “Amazing show, thank you”
Donna Glover: “Best fireworks ever!”
Beth Ann Mccollum-Bobzien: “It was a great show over a half hour of fireworks and a 10 minute Grand Finale.”
April Lambert Flick: “Best fireworks I have ever seen!”
Joey Molisani Jr.: “Lyndonville absolutely delivered with the fireworks this year!”
Maeday Theodorakos: “I told my friend it was something you would see at NYC. I watched from Mill Road. It was packed with cars. Perfect night.”
Sharon Ricotta Lampo: “The most magnificent display I have EVER seen in my entire life. You totally outdid yourselves and was completely in aww.”
Jen Johnson: “My daughter grew up near Philly and lives here now, watched the fireworks in Lyndonville tonight and says it was the most amazing display she’s ever seen. She said they were so great she almost cried.”

These fireworks are shown over the Lyndonville school.

Ronald and Carole Cunningham of Churchville have fun with sparklers while passing time before the fireworks show. They drove more than an hour with their daughter and son-in-law from California, as well as their grandchildren. “We do it every year,” Mr. Cunningham said about the Lyndonville fireworks. “It’s a family tradition.”
