4th of July

The Columbus Dispatch has a schedule of Red, White and Boom and other Independence Day Celebrations in Central Ohio. Red, White and Boom is on July 3, 2006.

According to Wikipedia, other US cities call their Independence Day celebration Red, White and Boom but Columbus' Red, White and Boom is the biggest.

"The largest is in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Attendance typically averages 500,000 people but has been as high as 750,000. Red, White & Boom was started in 1981 by WNCI and WCMH-TV and is paid for by corporate sponsors."

When suburbanites wish they were one of those new Columbus urban dwellers, Columbus Dispatch writer Matt Tullis had an article Monday, June 26, 2006: Our July third Red, White and Boom!

I want fireworks on my page like yours! Red, white and boom sounds like fun. We live 4 blocks from the Capitol building in St. Paul. Until a few years ago, the Capitol grounds were where the fireworks for St. Paul were displayed. Our "widow's peak" roof would have been the perfect place to watch them. As it is, we go on the rooftop and see the entire circle of fireworks around the city. It's quite the show stretching clear to the horizon.
