The usual crowd came for the festivities. There were the usual number of people trying to park cars a) where they wouldn't fit or b) where they weren't allowed to park. The grassy hills filled up with people. The fireworks went off without problem. Flagstaff cancelled their display. I'm so glad Payson didn't. They shoot the fireworks out over the lake, so any embers land in the water. The setting was so peaceful and the fireworks were spectacular. The booms echo back off the surrounding hills. I would have tried to photograph the actual fireworks, but I was using my pocket PC, and it was nearly out of charge.
The Phoenix news presicted that the temperature there would probably be about 107 at fireworks time. I'll bet Payson was about 75 or lower. I saw a few people with light jackets on. Payson is a great place to live!
