James got to experience his first Fremont County 4th of July. We kicked it off on the 3rd with Dr. Bill's fireworks display. As noted in the paper and by the Chamber of Commerce:
"Kick off the 4th of July celebration with Dr. Bill's annual fireworks display. The fireworks are coordinated with a selection of music. Dr. Bill uses some of the same equipment used by Disneyland for their fireworks display."
To explain, Dr. Bill is the local orthodontist and puts on a "private" fireworks show on his property outside of town. There are thousands of people who come out for this show. According to the local gossip, Dr. Bill has his pyrotechnic license(?) and did some of the fireworks for either the opening or closing ceremonies of the Salt Lake Olympics.
Anyway, the show was incredibly impressive. Apparently we were a little late and missed the live re-enactment of the Revolutionary war, but the rest was worth it. He intersperses history voice overs, pyrotechnics and lots and lots of patriotic music. In DC they use Stars and Stripes Forever for the big finale, but Dr. Bill used it as his opening sequence!!!!
Other excitement of the evening included relatives, of relatives of relatives getting into a drunken brawl at the house behind us and being taken away Cops style. It was quite the evening!
