Margaret great recap of the happenings around Crofton. I better get hopping on getting ours out! Your video is great - looks like lots of fun! Be safe and remember to snap some photos of the events...

Looks like there is quite a bit going on in Crofton. Hope you have some fun:)

Ahhhh... wouldn't that be nice, Bill... We always end up doing some major project around the house or yard and we're too exhausted to do anything fun on the 4th.

Lee & Pamela... I made the real estate show a while back, so that was easy, and this post was ready to go today. But now I have to do my monthly celebrations and events - 'haven't started that yet.

Margaret,

All this for my anniversary? They shouldn't have! :)

Mike in Tucson

Margaret, can't wait to see the fireworks here in DC! There are lots of great possibilities for viewing spots.

Honestly, my favorite fireworks celebration is at Fort Meade. I get goose bumps, knowing that I'm surrounded by military personnel and families whose lives are dedicated to preserving the freedoms we celebrate.

Something to do for everyone. I like posts that provide a nice list of items for your read to do in your area. Enjoy your weekend!

So many firework displays and so little time. I cold watch them once a week and still enjoy them.

John and Terry - One year, as we returned home from my parents home, it seemed that fireworks were going off in small communities all around the Washington Beltway during our entire drive home. 'Hard for everyone to keep their eyes on the road with so much going on in the sky! We're still deciding where to go (or whether to stay home and watch them on TV after a hard weekend of projects around the hosue). LOL.
