This weekend’s Thunder events excite students

By Rachel Lamb

Every year during mid-April an event called Thunder Over Louisville kicks off the beginning of the Kentucky Derby Festival. This event includes an air show, venders, many different activities, and fireworks.

Thunder Over Louisville is tomorrow. Many students are looking forward to that day, as this weekend approaches.

“Staying up all night after the fireworks is my favorite part,” said sophomore Hannah Knauer.

Others have a different opinion on their favorite part of the day.

“My favorite part is getting to see the airplanes fly over and do tricks in the afternoon with all of my friends,” said freshman Matthew Dunlap.

Senior Timon Stermer agreed that he also enjoys spending time with his friends.

“I look forward to Thunder every year because the people I spend the day with make it a fun experience.”

However, not everyone sees this event as a fun experience overall.

“The large crowds tend to put a damper on the evening,” said sophomore Heather Bouch.

She is not the only one that dislikes the exceeding amount of people. Knauer added to what Bouch said.

“That loud, mess of people is my least favorite part of the whole day.”

Thunder Over Louisville still offers a fun opportunity, if people can make the best of it.

“I have gone for the past five years and look forward to going again this year,” said Stermer.

Anticipation for Thunder Over Louisville builds

By Alesha McCulloch

This year’s Thunder over Louisville fireworks and air show is this Saturday, April 20th.

The air show begins at 3 p.m. and the fireworks begin at 9:30 p.m.

The theme for this year’s Thunder is “Thunder Vision” which is a tribute to music from TV shows. The music will be everything from game shows to reality television.

“My favorite thing to do at Thunder is people watch. I love to walk around and look at all the interesting people that come to Thunder,” said freshman Skyler Nardi.

If you bring your 3D glasses, you can put them on reveal 3D images of fireworks on this year’s Thunder over Louisville Poster.

“The thing I like the most about Thunder is all of the good food they provide,” said sophomore Kiley Atchley.

For the air show at Thunder this year, you may see fewer military planes due to monetary cutbacks. This means more civilian planes.

“I enjoy lots of things about Thunder over Louisville, but the thing I enjoy the most would have to be sitting with all my friends and watching the firework show,” said junior Blayne Miles.

You can also see aircrafts like Apache Blackhawks, Super 300, Biplane, and L-39 Jet before the Thunder begins.

“Riding the rides would have to be my favorite activity while down at Thunder,” said sophomore Dylan Paris.
