Tell her that website one more time, now won't ya!

 

Actually that is 3 different threads. The software strips out the middle of the address.

 

OOps, I was fooled!

July 4th

Garner has awesome fireworks at Lake Benson Park. The NC Symphony is there and other activities. I think it's on the 3rd.

 

Clayton July 4th

Clayton has a big celebration and fireworks on the 4th. FREE ice cream and watermelon too!

 

So, does anyone know if Garner is definitely doing their fireworks on the 3rd?
I looked at Garner's website but there was no information.

Thanks!

 

the 3rd? why would anyone be doing it on the 3rd?

 

Garner has always done theirs on the 3rd. I think it's that way so they can have "Pops in the Park" or maybe just to give people an option instead of only one night to celebrate.

 

makes no sense IMO.....especially when it falls on a Friday this year....

 

Here's the info: http://www.ci.garner.nc.us/indep_day.htm

 

As I said - I think it started yrs ago so they could have the symphony there (because they usually play in Ral on the 4th) Plus now they have such a crowd - its worked out well for them. Some folks like to go to Garner on the 3rd and then do family stuff on the 4th - people can stay late cause most folks are off on the 4th - plus they're not 'competing' with other area celebrations for the 4th, etc. Or like us - we'll go and then we're heading out of town on the 4th!!! Yay - vacation!!! :hurray:

Makes sense to me. I went one year, CROWDED! And dark. I even backed into some guy's car with the Durango, he was really cool about it. Now, his daughter... raving, lunatic biatch. All it needed was some rubbing compound, not a tow!! But, man. What a nice guy.

Thank You, nice guy. Wherever you are!

 

Yea - it is crowded. We usually have a large group of friends from church and we all bring our dinner, sit and eat - enjoy the fireworks. You just have to have lots of patience when its time to leave......all that traffic it's the pits!!
