The Mesquite Arts Council is presenting this sure fire way to begin any July 4th weekend with a bang; luckily it’s happening right here in Mesquite at 150 N. Yucca St.

It won’t even matter that you may not have a child, grandchild, niece or nephew in the show, you won’t want to miss this delightfully entertaining musical production our talented kids have been rehearsing this past month and are now ready to present to their audience.
