Full Moon to Accompany Tonight's Lake Sara Fireworks Show

Local resident Scott Ealy advises that those who attend tonight's fireworks show at the public beach on Lake Sara may be treated to a unique double feature.

Ealy, who is attending Eastern Illinois University to study Meteorolgy, said, "As folks are facing the beach and watching this evening's fireworks to their right, a FULL MOON will begin its rise, across the lake and to their left, at approximately 9:17 p.m. Tonight's forecast calls for mostly clear skies. 9:00 PM temperatures at the beach should be in the upper 70s with a very light breeze. Nearly perfect conditions for tonight's very special moon-enhanced fireworks event!"

A reminder that Beach Road will be closed to traffic at 9pm. Also, you can enjoy patriotic music to enhance your viewing pleasure tonight and Tuesday night at 9:00 on 979XFM and KJ Country 102.3.
