Guess talk is cheap. Flipping through the pages of the rec news, one would not even know a national holiday is coming up. And according to this post, the place is closed to grandchildren this week because of fireworks danger? Get real! Children only have fireworks if adults allow them to have them.
Garden Guru: To be honest, I am surprised that TV does not have a Professional Fireworks Show on July 4th. I suppose it was your expectation,as it was mine, the first July 4th we celebrated in TV in 2006 and we were disappointed that TV did not sponsor a Professional Fireworks Show. Yes, there is "other" entertainment at the Squares but.......no fireworks. Most July 4th Celebrations we are visiting our Kids in Illinois but not this year. We will probably go to Leesburg or Mt. Dora for their fireworks show. I believe a safe professional fireworks show could be done in TV----it would be nice to go to such in your golf cart.
