Patriotic fireworks fans fill Palm Springs Stadium
Thousands of people celebrated Independence Day with America’s pastime and fireworks in Palm Springs.
The 20-minute fireworks show was after a Palm Springs Power baseball game. Mayor Robert Moon threw out the first pitch.
KESQ and CBS Local 2 reporter Joe Galli asked folks at the show why they were proud to be an American.
“I have the freedom of speech and the freedom to do that I feel protected to do,” said Makayla Coor of Desert Hot Springs.
