When I
was growing up we saw fireworks once a year. That one time every year was
beautiful and magic. These days fireworks are used to celebrate or highlight
many events. They have not lost their beauty or magic for me though.
Our great
little town has recently been the beneficiary of a new McDonald's. Previous to
this we had to drive a further 15 minutes down the road for a Big Mac or Happy
Meal. Our town has seen steady growth over the last few years with more shops
and housing subdivisions. I like change as long as it is productive and in a
forward direction.

With the
opening of McDonald's our town was treated to a party. Crowds gathered for
appearance of Ronald McDonald and his friends, SEA FM was on hand with
giveaways, and a great country band was very entertaining. The finale at 9pm
was the draw card for me.

Our small
group gathered at a great vantage point and waited until the sky darkened.
Admittedly it was reasonably past 9pm, as advertised, but what good are
fireworks unless it is dark? The display was nothing short of spectacular, and
drew the oohs and aahs it deserved. The child within me was grinning from ear
to ear.
Here are
some of my less professional photos.
