This subject may have been broached already on the board, but I did not see any topics immediately on it. Being bored today, I went back and read some of the old You Said It's. There was one, maybe more, of people fussing about the fireworks at McFarland.
It is my understanding that it was quite a disaster and people's view were obstructed or even non existent. But the recurring mantra I am hearing from people in the public is that the "City of Florence really screwed this up." Do people not realize this is not a City event? It is put on by a private entity, WVNA (a.k.a. The Big Dog). The City simply allows them to use the park for the festival.
