    I really enjoyed the fireworks and think it was a good idea having them on the third. Brings other communities into ours and a lot of us will be attending larger shows on the 4th.
    I also like the way it swaps back and forth between Flomaton and Century, seems to work well.

    THANKS TO ALL WHO HELP MAKE THIS POSSIBLE YOU’RE ALL AWESOME!!!!!!
