NORTH NEWTON, Kan. — The community is invited to celebrate the Fourth of July at Kidron Bethel Village’s Annual Fireworks Extravaganza with arrival beginning at 8:30 p.m.

“We love hosting the Fireworks Extravaganza and seeing the community connect with Kidron Bethel Village,” said Linda Peters, Kidron Bethel Village executive director. “Because of COVID, last year’s event was not able to happen, so we are excited to revive the tradition this year.”
