| 4th of July
I haven't seen anything in the Globe about the 4th of July, so I called the city to see what the schedule is. Here is what I was told, in case anyone is interested.
7:00 ice cream (for the first 300) in Wright Park
7:30 trumpet player
8:00 Cowboy Band concert
10:00 Fireworks Show (timed with music on Q97)
For a good seat to watch the fireworks, they said we can park in the Civic Center parking lot and the school district is opening up Memorial Stadium for people to watch in the stands.
They also said that no personal fireworks are allowed in the Civic Center parking lot. I'm glad for that because I was up there a few years ago and it was crazy dangerous, people shooting off bottle rockets and other stuff with all those people and little kids around. I saw cops in the parking lot last year enforcing the "no fireworks" rule, so I'm guessing they might be there again. |
