There are hundreds of thousands of people downtown for the all day festival and parade, then about 9:00 pm the symphony starts playing patriotic songs and the Chamber of Commerce hosts a nice 20 minute fireworks display.

But this year the weather was threatening. There have been tornado watches issued since about 5:00 pm, so we aren’t going to risk going downtown and having a problem with lightning or tornadoes. At least we bought a few fireworks at the local stand and can shoot a few in our yard to celebrate before the storm.
