The City of Rockville put out the following notice:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Due to technical difficulties, the annual Rockville Independence Day fireworks show was shorter than anticipated.<\/p>\n<p>The show, planned to be about 20 minutes, experienced technical difficulties about six minutes after it started.<\/p>\n<p>Unable to diagnose the problem, the fireworks technician made the decision to move directly to the show\u2019s three minute finale, which was unaffected.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We decided to walk with Albert and Brady to see the Rockville fireworks this year.
