It was the park's second year in operation at Forty-sixth and the Paseo. An old advertisement for park festivities that day made the price seem a bargain. The usual concessions, rides, boating and bathing and free band concert were offered, but most appealing was the list of evening fireworks. Spider Shells 8. Twinkling Star Rockets 9.
American eagles defy the laws of gravitation.
Set Piece, Goddess of Liberty. Grand Finale, Jewel Wheat-sheaf, aerial boquet, flight of shells and cannonade simultaneously. Those who didn't go to Electric park that day no doubt attended other advertised events, such as the Elmridge horse races, Fairmount park, Forest park, Carnival park, or watched the Milwaukee baseball team play Kansas City. Hundreds picnicked on the grassy slopes of Swope park. A big day and many choices for Kansas Citians on July 4, 1908.
