Don, that sounds like so much fun. Happy 4th to you! So, what rides are you planning to go on?:)
Hi Don:
ENJOY - ENJOY - ENJOY!!!
Lots of fireworks scheduled all over...
I was dissapointed to find out earlier this year that our biggest fireworks show (Was billed as the biggest show west of the Mississippi) after some 50 years was cancelled due to lack of funding.
Joanna,
I am not to sure which rides yet but I do plan on having some fun. Happy 4th to you too....
Good morning Toula,
There will be plenty of fireworks for all to see this 4th. I hope that you will have a GREAT 4th.
Good morning Todd,
I am surprised that there aren't more cities that are cancelling the fireworks due to funding. Sorry to hear that you won't be able to go out and enjoy a nice show. Maybe next year.
Don - sounds like a great time, you are fortunate to be still having the show with so many areas canceling because of funding shortfalls.
Good afternoon Mike,
You are so right sir we are fortunate to be having a festival. I hope that you have a GREAT 4th my friend.
Firework displays are awesome to see. I rarely get to see them on the 4th because I have a party every year at my house.
JL,
Are you saying that you enjoy the company of friends? That is a good thing and sometimes is more relaxing than being out in a huge crowd.
Love the post and the pictures are great. Have fun with the kids.
Don,
You go and enjoy yourself......Have a safe and happy 4th....
Terry,
I'll be leaving out about 9:30 this morning to head to my sons house and hopefully the rain will stop so we can get outside. Have a GREAT rest of your weekend.
Julie,
I will ma'am and I hope that you have a GREAT day also.
Don,
It looks like this is going to be a soggy event this year...
Ann
Ann,
I am down with my son at Ft. Leonard Wood and it is nice and dry right now.
Don...I love all the fireworks. The small town That I was in, has donation jars all around town to help pay for it. They did a great job with small amount they had!
William,
I am glad to hear that there are cities and towns finding ways to keep this tradition going.
