More accurately it should be 4th of July in Eagle River.
The fireworks display started at midnight and as you can see we were lucky that there was some cloud cover so we could see the fireworks. The display was very good and lasted at least 30 minutes.
A couple pictures of the vendor area..........
These pictures were taken at midnight, notice how most are dressed as the temps are in the mid 50's but you would still see people in shorts and tee shirts, some were shivering. They also had two bands one playing country music and then the Air Force band but they had them to close together with the country band's speakers pointing directly at the Air Force band so you could not hear them at all.




thanks for posting the pics. Interesting seeing fireworks in the daylight I'll bet! I'm loving your blog, especially your post about the bears ... no wait, I'm loving it all. You've got a wonderful journalistic style and it's really fun to read and learn, like living it with you. Again, I'm so excited for the opportunity you've taken and are living it to the fullest. That is so beyond "awesome". Not to mention being envious to the Nth extreme. But I FEEL your excitement and satisfaction and am so damned happy for you!
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't believe what I had to go through to post that comment! I had to verify my gmail account but the questions were in German so I had to translate each question. Apparently once you enter another country now, and the language is different, your computer automatically switches to the native language of the IP address. Technology!
