DRIGGS, Idaho -- Melaluca's fireworks brought out thousands for Saturday night’s show, but many Idaho Falls families made their way to another celebration this year instead.

The Huntsman family threw quite the party on their new golf course in Driggs but it was the evening’s host, Glenn Beck that brought out the crowd.

Walking through the crowd of more than 6,000 estimated in attendance it was hard to find someone who wasn't a fan of Glenn Beck.

"He’s an inspiration, he really is,” said Irene Heamanczyk. “I just love him."

While on Fox News Beck offers many of his political opinions he spent the evening focusing on what makes America great and the lessons we can learn from our founding fathers.

"He researches on the founding fathers and what they brought and who they are, and where we should be today,” said Glenn Beck fan Jimmy Marlowe.

Glenn beck wasn't the only one on the program; the BYU-Idaho band played a number of patriotic songs to entertain the crowd.

"We decided if Glenn's going to be there, we're going to go see him, and I wanted to hear this band,” said Heamanczyk.

Rick Lewis' family came all the way from Ogden to hear him play in the band and when they found out Beck would be there they said it was a plus.

"I'm kind of excited especially with Glenn Beck and Jon Huntsman coming,” said Lewis. “It’ll be kind of fun to listen to their remarks and hear what they have to say."

But not everyone was there to see Beck.

"We wanted to see the fireworks because they're doing fireworks you’re not allowed to do," said nine-year –old Alesha Wade.

Glenn beck did mention that it was the first time in his life that he wanted a space heater on the Fourth of July. Temperatures dipped down into the 40s in Teton Valley Saturday evening.
