GREAT NEWS!
THERE WILL BE FIREWORKS ON THE 4TH, AFTER ALL!!
Here is an excerpt from today's article by Eve Mitchell, Contra Costa Times:
The funding for the pyrotechnics show, which will be along the city's waterfront, is made possible from existing city fees charged to waterfront tenants that include Dow Chemical, USS-POSCO and NRG Energy.
"It's something we are very excited about," said Garrett Evans, assistant city manager, at a neighborhood meeting Tuesday at Marina Vista Elementary where city officials talked with residents about local projects and issues and answered questions about their concerns.

Thanks to all for saving the day -- brilliantly and generously!
0506 1000 -- SAD NEWS! Adrian Badger (owner, Steeltown Coffee & Tea) informed me that the fund-raising drive did not achieve its goals in time. Today was the deadline for getting the full amount to the pyrotechnics specialists. He says the funds, collected thus far, will be applied to next year's effort. Nice try, Adrian!

1. This is a very worthy cause. We need our LEGAL fireworks. The children -- our new little patriots -- need to experience that traditional accent on the glorious national birthday -- as do we all. If you can't make it to this event, donations will certainly help, in any case, to better celebrate our great good fortune of living in this land -- and the very good fortune for humankind, in the existence and nature of this blessed nation.
2. Doors open at 6:30, show starts at 7:30. Please, no folks younger than 13.

[9:45 pm update: It was a grand time. This was our home town, feeling like a home town, doing a very fine thing, and having a blast -- a lot of that goes on here, I've noticed -- lucky us!
Special thanks to Adrian Badger, owner of Steeltown Coffee & Tea, who is the driving force behind this effort to insure that the 4th is celebrated as the founders intended. He is always producing good chain-reactions in and for the community -- and he deserves our grateful support.]
