If the events end at 8:30 pm, then it won't be dark enough for fireworks, will it?
ReplyDeleteIf anyone knows when the fireworks are scheduled to start, would they please post it.
Thanks so much!
I was wondering that too.
ReplyDeleteThe fireworks started right around 8:30 pm which was unfortunate because it was too light out. It would have been a fabulous show if it was held an hour later.
