Trade "ramparts" for a football stadium and you've got yourself the making of a very patriotic evening this Fourth of July, when the "rockets red glare" will light up the sky over Roswell High School.

For many Roswell families and those in neighboring areas, the annual July 4th Extravaganza, with its breathtaking fireworks and entertainment, is a tradition.

This year, the entertainment begins at 6 p.m. and includes activities for the children, as well as the following performances emceed by Moby, a popular local radio personality:

• Back Trax at 6 p.m.
• Banks & Shane at 7:30 p.m.

Aurora Cineplex will also be giving away a year's worth of movies to one lucky winner in the form of 52 "Aurora Rewards" passes. The local theater will set up their "Snowie" shaved-ice kiosk and a putting green.

At dark, a 30-minute fireworks display will cap off the evening.

Bring chairs, blankets and picnics for an old fashion family outing. Concessions by Shane’s Rib Shack will also be available for purchase. A children’s carnival and inflatable activities will be on hand for a nominal fee.
