Large Crowd Sees Fireworks
Members of Guard and East
Farewell Fire-Police
East Farewell - An estimated 700 cars were on hand July
4 to observe the fireworks
display directed by members of the National Guard and East Farewell-Fire
Police. Comments indicated that this was one of the best organized events
held in a number of years. Earlier displays were limited to low flying roman
candles, sparklers and some sky-soaring displays. They were usually set off by
personal families that used their lakefront docks as base stations. By making
the display a town based event more people were able to enjoy it, it was much
safer and a much bigger display could be presented. “This was kind of an experiment
this year. We wanted to see if we could even do it. As it turns out, not only
did we do it, we did it well and safely. I think this will become an annual
event,” said Tom Connally, Town Council President, after the event.
Special praise
went to the Fire-Police who directed the parking with no traffic congestion at
any time. Preliminary check shows that approximately $450 was collected
leaving $75 for next year's event.
