The city of Rifle held its Independence Day celebration on July 3 with bounce houses, discounted pool admission, ice cream, a dunk tank and a concert. This year’s event did not include fireworks due to high fire danger, but the city plans to feature them during its Hometown Holidays celebration this winter. Still, the absence of fireworks didn’t put a damper on the fun, as shown in these photos.
