There were fireworks?

You've been there. It wasn't the noise from the boats in the channel. It wasn't the tree that blocked 90% of the view. It wasn't the feeling of sitting too long in an uncomfortable position. It wasn't the mile long walk to and from the car wedged between the landscaping of the Home Depot parking lot. It wasn't the smell of the wacky tobacky while walking through thousands and thousands of people. We expect all that. This time it was the flames billowing over the giant anchor, the pillar that symbolizes the security of our coastlines. West Michigan's O.C., Coast Guard City USA, was filled with people in awe and wonder last night as the dry hill on the other side of the Grand River burned to rubbish. Sure, we are used to small areas of dune grass catching fire, but this was unbelieveable... "Turn on the musical fountains!", "Take a picture!", "Should we leave?" When we finally left, it seemed like over half the hill was charred. It was the worst I've seen. Oh, almost forgot... there were fireworks. Couldn't even tell you how good they were.

P.s. Here's a video of it...http://video.woodtv.com/vid.wvx.php?video_id=1113
