check out www.nps.gov/hafe. thats the park service site for harpers ferry. there are events the weekend of the 4th but i didn't see any thing about fireworks. they stopped having them last year due to budget cuts. i think the budget was cut this year as well. i and my family always looked foward to the fireworks every year. thay were as good as the ones on the mall in d.c. now i am going to make a political statement here. being a conservitive independent voter who leans republican, i am all for lower taxes but there are some things that i don't mind paying taxes for and the park system is one of them. so keep my teeny tax break and increase funding to the park service. okay enough. berryville might have a show and i've heard it's very good.

me again. check out www.nps.gov/anti for info on antetam battlefields fireworks show on the 3rd of july. the only problem is i've been there and it is very crowded. i wonder why they can afford a fireworks show but harpers ferry can't? purcellville,va is having a fireworks show as well.

There will be no fireworks at Harpers Ferry, but there will be:
On Saturday and Sunday, July 3 and 4, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park invites visitors to experience "America?s Picnic: Celebrating the Glorious Fourth." This special event showcases a Harpers Ferry of the past ? an 1860 town decked out in patriotic finery to celebrate Independence Day. The year is 1860. Americans celebrated the nation?s birthday with picnics, band concerts, and patriotic speeches honoring the founding fathers and the glorious republic. Americans looked back to honor a century of progress with a new experiment called democracy in the brave new world. Looking ahead, Americans also wondered whether the country would still be united for next year?s celebration or if civil war would come to pass. References to the recent John Brown raid, his execution, and the coming Presidential election will be topics that stir fervor and questions about the nation?s future.

I can't imagine there'd be too many people trying to stop someone. Probably the safest place hereabouts what with all the water.

Hey all,
Happy 4th. I wish I had checked board earlier , would have gone to the lake, saw some of them thru trees, they looked nice. I also noticed everyone setting off their own fireworks. I knew I moved to the right place. Had my boys up and they loved all the different sounds and aerials in the woods. Loved to hear kids laugh and have fun at stuff our government thinks is bad.
Anyway,take care
Steve
