NORFOLK, Neb. (KTIV) -

Norfolk, Nebraska put on quite a show for folks Saturday night.

The Big, Bang, Boom, now called Boom Fest lasted for nearly half-an-hour, and included about nine-thousand shells.

This year, a laser light show was added.

The committee said the spectacular would feature the largest grand finale in its history, which captured on our skycam Sunday night, just after the news ended around 10-35.
