We started early this year. Our first celebration was a patriotic concert performed by the local Symphony Orchestra at KSU's outdoor amphitheater on Sunday. The concert was followed by fireworks right above us. It was great having front row seats so close that we could smell the sulfur. It rained off and on throughout the music, but we didn't mind. Someone loaned us a tarp because we arrived unprepared for rain.
Our next celebration was watching another fireworks display at a nearby church on the third. They put on a professional display for the community every year. Cars fill their parking lot, kids run all over, and people bring tailgate picnics to enjoy before it gets dark. We didn't think to do that; maybe next year.
Our third celebration was on the fourth. It's our tradition to fight the crowds through our town square's street festival in order to watch the biggest fireworks display in our area. We have our favorite spot to sit ~ directly across the street from the parking lot where the fireworks are set off. We arrive early to claim some space, then we usually wander through the festival and buy some soft frozen lemonade. This year, Greta invited about 20 friends, so we saved extra space. More like 25 showed up. The more the merrier!
