    No complaints here on the Flomaton show. My girls and I sat on a blanket in the ball field and had a wonderful front row seat. We loved it. Only today, I taught my six year old the saying, “Never look a gift horse in the mouth.” Maybe some older folks need to learn that saying as well.

    My husband said someone was going to go home and get online and state that the fireworks in the Flomaton/Century area was too short. I just got on to check,,,,and guess what once again my hubby was right! lol Thank you so much Flomaton/Century for doing what you didn’t have to do. In times where money is short you still gave us fireworks for our 4th. It greatly appreciated by my family and others.
