100% yes they should add the fireworks back! It's been a real loss to our
great community. Please mark me down for 150 "yes" votes....the 150 being
for everyone else I know who loves and misses them dearly. Thanks for
asking.

Gene,
As you know, the fireworks are very popular. We went to Cardoza High
School on 13th St this year to look at the fireworks on the mall.
We have enjoyed going to the TP fireworks rather than trying to see the
fireworks on the mall. Looking at the construction at the middle school, I
wonder whether the experience will be the same for the spectators? A lot
of the area where people used to sit now has the school addition on it.
Maybe once construction is completed there will be more spectator space,
but that is not obvious to me. I also lament the changes to the old
sledding hill over there. A great place to go sledding years ago.

The TPIDC is holding a wrap up and planning meeting tomorrow evening. One
of the items to be discussed is a fireworks-related evening program. It has
been 2 years since the celebration included fireworks. Prior to that
fireworks, weather permitting, were apart of every Fourth of July evening
program. As I mentioned it has been 2 years and perhaps attitudes change.
Just sending out a feeler to find out whether you think we should plan to
include evening fireworks as part of the 2022 evening program. Purchase of
fireworks occurs during October-November. Hope we will all be together.
Thanks.
Gene Herman
President, TPIDC
