goes to show people don't read the whole article. It says fireworks start at 10 or when dark enough. Only says gates open at 6. Then again, some people are only happy when complaining.

Sorry, I'm not about to pay 8 bucks to get into an event at the fairgrounds when there are so many free events around the area. It hasn't been advertised well, anyway, so I doubt there'll be much of a crowd.
