Independence Day, 2013

Rockville Fireworks

Rockville Fireworks

We decided to walk with Albert and Brady to see the Rockville fireworks this year. As it turns out, we stopped walking a bit sooner that we probably should. Ralph and Tsai-Hong went on and saw them much more closely than we did, although we got a reasonable view. We were a bit surprised at the brevity fo the show. Well, it turns out that it was due to a technical fault. The City of Rockville put out the following notice:

Due to technical difficulties, the annual Rockville Independence Day fireworks show was shorter than anticipated.

The show, planned to be about 20 minutes, experienced technical difficulties about six minutes after it started.

Unable to diagnose the problem, the fireworks technician made the decision to move directly to the show’s three minute finale, which was unaffected.

Thank you to everyone who attended. We will be working with our fireworks vendor to do everything possible to avoid this from occurring in the future.

Still, considering how little effort we went to, the show was fine and we were with family and good friends. You really cannot ask for much more than that.
