Thanks!

Not just animals have problems with the noise. Think about the veterans with PTSD. I am 100% happy that there are not any fireworks in TV.

Thank you. Our dog is afraid of thunder and she doesn't need fireworks...

Go to any high ground and look towards Leesburg and you may see their fireworks from there. I, for one, am glad they don't shoot them off here which doesn't make me unpatriotic. IF we wanted to really see them---we could gather some friends and go either to Leesburg, Mt. Dora, Ocala or any municipality in the area for them. The Villages has never displayed them. It might be the large number of veterans here, the liability but it's a moot point to even carry on about how it breaks "tradition" from where one used to live.

Last year, the fireworks at Venetian Park in Leesburg were awesome! They had a carnival event occurring in the area at Ski Beach Park. Lots of fun to socialize and people watch!! LOL

There might be a lot of different meanings about the fireworks at all. I, for my self, it is just a celebration to be so thankful to our country to be free and living in freedom.
Thank you.
