The rainbow will be formed when water pumped into the air by the fire department refracts the sun's rays. Stern has created more than 40 rainbows as large as 2,000 feet across for major cities in the US, South America, the Middle East and Europe. This is the 10th anniversary of the first rainbow Stern created in Silver City in 1995. 4:30 p.m. www.rainbowmaker.us.
