Hi, Happy Saturday.
The town I live near is having the annual fireworks display tonight. I can hear them being set off from here. I usually go, but this year I didn't finish work in time to get the last bus down there. Oh well, maybe next time.
What special events does your town hold in the summer? Do you go to any of them? What are they like?
They really like to burn stuff in these parts. They have a firework display on one of the lakes every evening for the first 5 days of August. Then later on this month the next town over will have their Fire Festival. They line the streets with huge bamboo "Mount Fuji's" and set fire to them while everyone drinks beer and tries not to get singed.
I've been to the fire festival a few times and I usually go to watch at least one of the fire work displays if I can. They're fun. Nothing like sitting out on a warm evening and watching pyrotechnics.
