Happy 4th of July from New Milford, CT!

The Sizzler The fireworks last night went off with a bang, (sorry) they were spectacular! My family enjoyed the carnival, the great food, the fireworks, all a fantastic way to celebrate the 4th of July in New Milford, CT. The town gathered together downtown yesterday for a fun filled day of good music, wonderful food and the spirit of the 4th of July was everywhere.

"I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more." - John Adams to his wife Abigail Adams on July 3, 1776.

Andrea, Happy 4th to you and your family. If that second photo with the sunset was over your way, the fireworks would have had to go some to beat that. Thanks for sharing

Hi Andrea, A wonderful tribute to one of our nations favorite celebrations. I love the quote from John to Abigail. They were an amazing couple and I don't think he would ever have been able to succeed had it not been for her counsel. I did a little post a while ago of fireworks from our San Diego Big Bang celebration on the Bay. We could have traded some fireworks.
