The event, back after two years off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, featured two live bands, food trucks and a fun zone for both kids and adults — all capped off with an evening fireworks show. Little Juniper Skaggs, a Cameron Park native, right photo, takes in her first Summer Spectacular with her grandmother Patty, who was visiting from Southern California.
