2004 Fourth of July Celebration

There may have been torrential rains this Fourth of July on the Capitol, but that didn't stop many metropolitan area residents and out of towners from coming down to the Mall for the annual celebration. Though there was a rumor of cancellations due to inclement weather, people toughed it out. Finding shelter in overhangs or braving the rains with umbrellas and rain ponchos these families and friends enjoyed the company of good food, bands, and most importantly fireworks!
