I need some information. I have three grandchildren coming for the 4th of July who want to see a fireworks display, but not the huge overcrowded affair in Memphis. Does anyone know about smaller displays being done locally---day, time, place, cost?

Lakeland:
The FIREWORKS will be on Saturday, July 5, 2008 at dark (approximately 9:30pm). The annual boat parade will proceed around the lake beginning at 8:00pm. Last year the parade was bigger than ever. Please decorate your boat in the spirit of the Fourth of July and join the parade. Contributions are needed for the fireworks fund. The fireworks are funded solely by your donations. You may drop your contribution off at Tiger Cleaners on Canada Road or mail it to 9800 Windward Slope Cove. Make checks payable to "Garner Lake Fireworks". A donation by individuals or companies of $100 or more will be credited during the show and in Citywatch. Karen Woodward continues her great volunteer work in setting up this outstanding fireworks display. This year you will be able to hear the music over your FM radio. This should make it better for all.
