We were over at Tim's sister's house last night waiting out the rain before the fireworks. We watched the WR Tribune web site for up-dates on the firework status. Normally the fireworks go off at 9:30. The tribune stated that they will be lit at 10:00 if there is a break in the rain. Otherwise they will reschedule. Well, we heard them go off around 8:50.
The comments on the trib page were scathing. Sounds like many were at local restaurants monitoring the web site for more information before going down to the river in the rain. We weren't going to go sit in the rain, so we would have missed it regardless. The kids were disappointed though.
You know you live in a small town when the biggest scandal is the fact that the fireworks went off an hour earlier than stated. I noticed that the tribune didn't take any pictures of the crowds like they normally do. Wonder how many people were actually down there. My guess are just the die hard drunks that went to the rainy street dance.
