LYNDONVILLE – The Lyndonville Lions Club capped its 51st annual Independence Day celebration with another spectacular fireworks show on July 4th.
The Lions Club works with Young Explosives to put on one of the biggest fireworks shows in Western New York.
The Lions last year had its biggest show ever for the 50th anniversary of the club doing the July 4th celebration.
Club President Eric Johnson and fireworks chairman Harold Suhr want to make next year’s show even bigger. They have set a $52,000 fundraising goal which would top the $50,000 from 2024.
The band Bleeding Hearts performed from a stage near the Lyndonville ball fields right up to the start of the fireworks show. Bleeding Hearts has been performing in Western New York since 1989.
The band plays a unique blend of Classic Rock from the ’60s and ’70s, retro hits of the ’80s, alternative hits from the ’90s and current hits of today. The band closed with a tribute to Lyndonville by performing John Mellencamp’s “Small Town.”
The Bleeding Hearts include David Lloyd on lead vocals, drums and guitar; Bob Kupczyk on bass, vocals and keyboards; and Tim Unger on lead guitar and vocals.

Wynter Dominguez, 2, of Brockport had glow-in-dark bracelets on and tried spinning a sparkler.
The fireworks proved to be a crowd pleaser for the big group gathered on the Lyndonville ballfields.
