[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 171901, member: 1697"] witzend- thanks, I did not stop to think about that maybe dureing lean times more people might do home fireworks. Since most of our prof displays are free, and a good majority do not charge to park, either, and most permit you to bring in snacks, I assumed people would find it cheaper to go to the prof displays than to buy ones to set off at home. LOL- I think thats one of the things I have always liked about this holiday- it can be fun and can cost so little if you are careful. And I love to go to the places that also have music etc. Yes, I am also 10 miles or so from border, and they are legal in the state I border. I know in the "panic" thread I was thinking that the increased violence around here is due to the economy. ANd last year I had read in our paper that many local festivals are thinking they want to reduce how many people come to their festivities from surrounding communities becuz they felt things were getting sorta out of control at some of the events etc. (drawing more people than they could effectively handle- etc) so some places around here HAVE scaled down with what they are haveing and what they are doing. There are becoming less publicity, less big names to draw spectators, and smaller fireworks displays.....and yeah more places are starting to charge- for parking, for "gate charge" but, still the majority around me are still free. I am wondering how loud and late it might go on tonite in my neighborhood. easy child did wind up coming home from work early and within 5 mins of getting home, she fell asleep- and she has to work tomorrow in the early morning again. My son is still sleeping.....and husband is now up, but cranky. My thoughts are going towards something along the lines of OK I like to have fun just like anyone, but, I also am considerate with my haveing fun. And I do not hurt anyone or anything when I have fun. And I do not put others out. I spent 2 hours cleaning my yard today after everyone. Yeesh. NOT my idea of fun. [/QUOTE]
