In the risk of being called a troll, can we get real about this? It always made me feel uneasy at the fireworks to feel like a privileged resident, opposite the non-paying section, a glaring vision of the racial/economic divide of our town. Surely we could do better than that, specially on the fourth of July? What about the town subsidizing some of the cost for the festivities, so the fireworks could be free? What about scaling rates for children, or free for children? Just saying.

No reason to apologize. The OP questioned why one had to pay to watch the fireworks. It was explained in detail , by Joan, I believe The OP was satisfied. Then comes someone who apparently reads the OP and comments without reading the rest of the discussion. To me that makes no sense.

Perhaps there are those who don't want to attend the Circus but do want to see the Fireworks, and see the cost of the tags as being principally related to the Circus.

No, they have separate tix for fireworks or circus only - $10 each. Combo is $15.

@sac, everything I'm hearing (on radio forecasts) and seeing on weather.gov says good weather for fireworks tonight.

Do we need to get corporate sponsors and donation cups involved so people don't sit outside of a fence?
