Lighting Up the Sky

Laramie, WY
July 4, 2021

I sat in my driveway last night and watched the community fireworks display. The show was beautiful and the night delightful with hardly a cloud in the sky.

Did you celebrate the holiday by seeing a fireworks display?

  1. My dog is terrified of the sound so I have found that if I put her behind me on the couch and lean back against her she feels safe so I watched them on tv.

  2. Our Canada Day fireworks were on Thursday. All the big commercial ones were cancelled because of COVID - but there were a lot more backyard ones going this year. We can't see much from our place - too many trees.
    Around here, the best thing to is to drive up to the top of the Niagara Escarpment - you can sit on the edge and see every single firework across the lower city. Unfortunately, word has gotten around, and you literally have to get up there around noon and camp out to get a spot now.

  3. I missed my community one-it was held last weekend and I missed the memo! My neighbors-in all four directions let them off for most of the evening even though it was raining! I couldn't see any but sure did hear it! lol You had a great view for a perfect light show! Nice.

  4. Took the lawn chairs out to the driveway for about a half hour and watched some neighborhood displays. The big community display was at the lake and we have too many trees to see them anymore.

  6. Ours were canceled again this year because of Covid but we could hear the neighbors setting them off all Saturday night and Sunday. Hopefully they got it out of their system. Pup doesn't mind them when she is in the house because we have a wedding venue nearby that sets them off regularly on weekends but she hates them if she is outside. We are now being told our air quality is red today because of all the smoke from them. I had no idea they did so much damage.

  7. We did not go to a fireworks display. I'm not a fan of the brightness. The blast really hurts my eyes and gives me an awful headache. I don't mind watching them from a good distance, but we don't go to the shows where we are up close anymore.

    We did, however, go to my hometown parade in the afternoon. I really DO enjoy that. Firetrucks, Mummers, and little kids groups ...........that is my type of celebration. We had a blast!

  8. Nancy your fireworks sounded 1ove1y. Nebraska was crazy . They don't have 1oca1 fireworks , so everyone, I mean everyone, buys and shoots off fireworks. You cou1d see them in every direction for hours and hours 1AST Night. The poor poor dogs and cats

  9. We can see the fireworks over the bay, and those were nice. Lots and lots of illegal ones though. Pilot (dog) spent the evening in the car and Comet (d0g) snuggled under a weighted blanket. I hope it is all over now! I do love them but not the noise.

  10. Glad you enjoyed. We missed our local display as we were at Colin & Mailing's. Apparently everyone else came here as traffic was horrid trying to get home! I like fireworks to a degree, but honestly am not a huge fan.
