Images from Manchester's annual fireworks celebration

By Courtney Sacco

The Village of Manchester hosts one of the few remaining public fireworks displays in the area, and Wednesday night the tradition returned, sponsored by the Manchester Men's Club.

Residents gathered in the village's Carr Park to watch the display and celebrate the Fourth of July with family and friends.

AnnArbor.com staff photographer Courtney Sacco captured these images.

Washtenaw County is totally lame when it comes to fireworks shows. Manchester is the only one and thats nearly Lenawee County anyhow. Lenawee has a number of shows and Oakland County where I came from has a ton of shows in a dozen communities. Bah....Whats u with that?

The display is funded by donations..they collected at the gate. Also Dexter Hudson Mills has a large display every year.

To be fair, my understanding is this was a privately sponsored display. Still yes you would think AA municipality, authority or venture could have done the same.
