Last night the Township sponsored its annual fireworks display. I couldn't even estimate how many people were there, but it was wall to wall. It was a true "Hometown USA" event. There were hotdogs and hamburgers, popcorn, and vendors of all kinds. Kids were running around, playing ball, using the basketball courts and the playgrounds and in general having a high ole time.
The band was excellent. I couldn't help dancing to their music, and many others couldn't keep from dancing either. You could feel the excitement as the fireworks got closer, and everyone was really ready to enjoy them. Well, they were worth waiting for. I think our Township has got to have one of the most spectacular fireworks displays around. I have usually watched it outside the park, but being there has to be an experience to remember.
I wrote a thank you to the Mayor telling what a wonderful event it was, and I asked him to convey my thanks to the Township departments who worked so hard to make this happen. I saw many of our Township employees there last night, and they were doing a bang-up job.
I was proud to be a "Jacksonian" and a member of the Council. No party politics in Johnson Park last night. These are the type of fireworks we could all enjoy.

I didn't know we had that many people in Jackson!! Apparently the all come out of the woodwork when something good is going on!
The fire works were great as usual. I saw you and Mr. Rivere walking into the park next to the basketball courts when I was playing volleyball; I loved your headband with the sparkly things on top, very cute!!
Have a great weekend!!
