Ah OK! Is there a playground there like Showwalter? Also are coolers (with non alcohol drinks of course) permitted ?

>> Where’s Hurricane Park exactly ? Last year was as Showwalter park….

Directly across Hwy 31 from Flomaton High School.

We appreciate free entertainment out this way. A day early no big deal Question….. Where’s Hurricane Park exactly ? Last year was as Showwalter park….

There are other reasons….one of which is the fireworks company is cheaper on July 3 than July 4. The same show would cost much, much more on the actually holiday.

Smart business move.
Pulling in people specifically to their town to watch fireworks on a day when no others are available=people spending money at vendors in their town.
Wait and do it when everyone is scattered throughout the region at their own area’s specific event=diluted revenue generation.
Very slick, Century. I hope your town profits nicely for such a smart move.

Why have 4th of july fireworks on the 3rd? Why not have them on the 4th like every other town/city?
