Before the 4th of July fireworks started, Ashton Kooy, 5, and her brother, Grant, 3 of Parkville, Md., each picked out a favorite glow stick necklace offered to them by Kyla Christian, a Town of Herndon employee. Christian commented on the turnout. “It’s a good turnout. There is a sea of red, white and blue. And the mood is patriotic," she said.
