My 5 Favorite Things About The 4th At Ellen Trout Park

This has to be on the list, because this is my zoo. This is your zoo, and on the 4th of July, it's business as usual at this amazing East Texas landmark attraction. This year they are celebrating their 50th Anniversary.

Last year, there were a few unhappy kids, as the train was broken down. Now we have this brand new train, made right here in Lufkin. All aboard! It's a great way to cool off with a nice breeze and see the entire park.

This year there will be lots of great local entertainment on the main stage. Sponsored by Loving Auto Group. Also thanks to Rep. Trent Ashby and Etech for their help sponsoring the stagel.  Local favorites Joe Cuellar (5pm) Sam Shupak and Bryan Harkness (6:15pm) Steve Murry Band (7:30pm)

Anything and everything on a stick, will be waiting for you at the Mike Love and Associates Law Firm City of Lufkin Fireworks. The fair style food and tons of vendors will be out there for you to enjoy. I need a pork kabob and funnel cake now.

This is the best fireworks show in East Texas. Even if you were to go to a show in a big city, you will never be this up close and personal with the fireworks, so it's really an unmatched experience. The Mike Love and Associates Fireworks crew do an amazing job every year firing the show off, choreographed to the music here on K-Fox 955.  Show starts at dark, usually 9:15 - 9:30pm.
