Hmmm… I like how I headed down to the Polasek Museum about 7:30 to maybe catch the end of the boat parade and then the fireworks and the entire event was already over. If they advertise fireworks at 8, they should actually wait until 8 to shoot off the fireworks. I was among many other disappointed people that were arriving at the same time…
Hello Watch Me Eat,
I’m sorry to hear that the fireworks had already gone off or were not a part of the parade. I based my information on the flyer that I referenced from the museum’s website that is attached to the post. I need to start putting asterisks on all of my event posts that states that “time and events are subject to change”. I’ve already included that in my recent Calendars.
Great blog by the way. Thanks for commenting!
