Person: And now....Elderpark director Miss Overdunne will light the first fireworks to start the show! Man: Short show, but I kinda liked seein' em all go off at once.
Spent the Fourth at Eureka Springs one year. Festivities were held at the lake with the city providing busses from town. The show was down-homey kinda stuff like Women’s Auxiliary dance numbers. Refreshing change of pace from the more polished acts back home was becoming.
Fireworks were set up on the swimming platform in the middle of the lake. Long about dusk, you could see the shadowy form of a rowboat gliding out to the platform, with the glow of a cigarette prominent as it climbed up. I said out loud “What kind of an idiot would smoke around fireworks?”. The lady next to me laughed and said “That’s my husband!”. Turned out she was the mayor.
