DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- The 3rd Annual Tye Fourth of July Fireworks Show and Military Appreciation Day takes place July 3 at Rister Park in Tye, Texas.

Admission to the event is free and everyone is encouraged to come early. Last year's event enjoyed a record-breaking attendance, and this year's 45-minute fireworks presentation will have even more pyrotechnics than in the past.
