The fireworks display Sunday night was awesome! Thanks to Kremmling Volunteer Fire Department for putting on such a great show and thanks to everyone who donated to the fireworks fund to make the show possible.It looked like a storm might move in and the wind would be too strong for the fireworks, but it calmed down just in time for the show to go on.Sermon on the Mount uses horses to teach biblical principles and demonstrate loving, successful horse and trainer interaction. Presented by Dr. Lew Sterrett the program Lessons of Life & Leadership from the Language of the Horse, will be held this Saturday, July 10, at the Middle Park Fairgrounds in Kremmling.
