Last night I went to Slater, IA. It’s a little town about 10 miles south of Ames of about 1400 people. A couple of my friends found out that they had a fireworks show and that it was supposed to be a good one. I went with them a bit skeptical of how good the fireworks show of a town that’s 10 blocks by 7 blocs at it’s widest dimensions could be but I figured that with the company it would be a good time no matter how good the show.
I have to say that it was one of the best fireworks shows I’ve ever seen. It lasted about twenty minutes and was pretty packed full of fireworks for most of those minutes. On top of that the fireworks were right above us. I mean right above us. They were launched about 100 feet away from where we were sitting and because it was such a small town they weren’t launched very high. It was really awesome. They only do the show every other year, but you can bet that I’m going back in 2007.

Hey TJ,
Glad that you got to see some great fireworks. The ones that we can see out the window were okay this year. Seems that the trees have gotten taller since we first moved here and some of the lower burst weren’t as visible.
