Descriptive Essay: Clear Lake (IA)
As I watch the fiery colorful chemicals explode in the air one after another. I try to ignore all the blinking and flashing lights from all the carnival rides just a couple feed away from me. While listening to the thousands of people cheer the fireworks on. The beautiful town known as Clear Lake is the town I am talking about. Some people may think differently but the 4th of July in Clear Lake, IA is one of the best place on earth. It’s just something about this town on the 4th of July makes me happy.

We all go back to my friend’s house and we start to grill out. My friend’s dad will grill anything you want him to grill. The smell of burgers over a charcoal fire while the grease oozes over the metal rack, is a smell that I will never get sick of. Once we are all done eating is when it’s time to hit the carnival rides and bingo. I always love playing bingo, it’s the one thing that makes the carnival special. Something about it just makes me happy to play bingo in the park under a tent, on a nice summer day. Last year in while I was playing bingo I won $30. It’s a really good feeling to win money. It made that day just so much better. After bingo we ride some rides, play some days and just enjoy spending time with my friends. When all the fun is over we all go home and nap. That is always the best part. When I wake up from nap it’s usually around 6 or 7, and we have to head right back up town. We have to get to our spots that we set up earlier for the firework show. My friend has an aunt and uncle that live somewhat close to the lake. So they always let us park at there house so we don’t have to walk that far to our spots. Once we get parked we walk to our spots and then we sit and wait. We have to wait until 10 when the show begins. Sitting there surrounded by thousands of people waiting for this one of kind show to start I think to myself. Why I am so
