The Town of Sahuarita’s Red, White & Boom event on July Fourth drew quite a crowd. It kicked off with a parade of decorated classic vehicles with a police escort on Rancho Sahuarita Boulvard, and ended with a laser show and fireworks. In between? A massive squirt gun fight, food, crafts and lots of things for the kids to do.
