Clear Lake’s six-day July 4th celebration was a record-breaking event, according to Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tim Coffey.

“It was one of the best— the (Evans United Shows) carnival had its best stay in 43 years.  I was told the parade crowds were the largest, fireworks were the best.  It was a very successful year,” Coffey told the City Council Monday night.  He estimated crowds at 70,000 plus.
