the entire town gathers to watch/shoot off fireworks and you fit on someone’s deck.Â? :)Â? (OK… we had maybe 8-10 people overflowing into lawnchairs on the ground too.)

It was definitely fun despite some of the fireworks not getting enough height before exploding.Â? We ended up running for cover and having to stomp out fires a few times.Â? Afterwards, we had dessert: 4 kinds of ice cream (we were joking that someone beat up the Schwan’s man and stole his cache), spice cake, cookies, and jello (we were all Lutherans after all).
