Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2009 11:10 am Post subject: PE days
I'm just wondering why there was no mention of fireworks in the listing. I went to the city page and there wasnt any mention of it there either. I know that USUALLY there are after the concert is over, (depending on weather conditions), but it is always listed as a feature of PE Days. This year it wasnt. Any particular reason?? Does anyone know? Thankfully I live close enough that I did see atleast SOME of the fireworks, but still, I'm just curious why there was no mention of them. _________________ No matter what happens, someone will find a way to take it too seriously.
