This was the most pathetic display of fireworks I have ever seen. It's embarrassing that the capitol city can't even put together a good firework show. It was amateur hour for sure.

Scott, sorry I wasn't there myself to see but we heard alot of thunder that evening way up here in Lakewood! Do you think possibly the reason this year's show was below your expectations was because they had problems with the available supply of commerical grade fireworkds out of China as reported in the national news? Or did they choose to do it on the cheap? Just wondering!
