Cameron Harris and Lincoln Tamez were crowned Lil Miss Sparkler and Mr. Firecracker during Wednesday’s opening ceremonies of the 4th of July Celebration at Northpoint Plaza in Streator.

The two won based on collecting the most money in canisters placed at Ace Hardware and Kroger. Those proceeds went toward funding the celebration.

Wednesday’s activities included the crowning of Lil Miss Sparkler and Mr. Firecracker, followed by live musical acts and food vendors. The carnival is scheduled to open 5 p.m. Thursday at Northpoint.
