La Mancha Lake Ranch Lights Up the Sky with Spectacular July 4th Fireworks

La Mancha Lake Ranch lit up the skies over Lake Leon this July 4th with a fireworks display that did not disappoint. Brilliant bursts of color and the familiar crackle of fireworks delighted everyone within view of La Mancha. A big thank-you to La Mancha for treating the community to such a spectacular show!

 

Earlier that evening, several boat owners joined together for an impromptu Boat Parade, cruising the lake in festively decorated vessels. Due to low water levels, the parade hasn’t happened in recent years—but thanks to generous spring rains, Lake Leon is full again and ready for a summer of fun on the water!

Eastland City Park Improvements on the Way!

If you haven’t caught any of the Rip’s Reports videos hosted by Levi Freeman on the Eastland County Today Facebook page, you’re missing out! And if you haven’t heard what the Eastland Lions Club has been doing to improve Eastland City Park… well, it’s time to get caught up!

This video (linked below) brings both together—and it’s worth the watch.

After completing the impressive new Lion Kenneth Chapman Pavilion, the Lions Club has taken on their next big project: raising funds for a fully inclusive playground at the park.
