Eryn: I don't miss a lot about the town we are from, but they do the 4th so nice. Families bring their fireworks to the high school, volunteer fire dept brings a water truck, everybody sets their fireworks off on the football field. People hang out in the park, watch fireworks & visit. Wrapped by 10:30.

You always have a couple guys who compete to spend the most on fireworks so the town gets quite a show, safely away from the unharvested, dry wheat fields. Our last 4th there, one guy spent $1200 on fireworks & we only spent <$10 on ground flowers & sparklers.

Semi-responsible rednecking. I maintain that the folks cosplaying rural in SW WA are far worse than the actually rural folks in SE WA.
