Deer Valley 4th of July Fireworks Show
Deer Valley Community Center Fireworks Show
The firework display this year at Deer Valley Communities Center’s 4th of July celebration was fantastic. New designs in pyrotechnics I’ve never seen before.
On arrival, we could see this was a well attended event but driving around for less than five minutes we found a spot that wasn’t too far from the park. In 103 degrees, you consider distance more keenly.
Plenty of elbow room for everyone which I’m sure led to the continuing festive feel and didn’t turn the place into a broken bottle battlefield o’ grass-claiming warriors.
103 degrees will also make you keenly aware of personal space.
Many people had the glow sticks and other forms of wearable light. Sparkling, flashing, day-glo, rainbow, all bouncing through the crowd.
The band playing gave it their all. They still aren’t quite there for the 2am lounge act in Vegas but they did the job tonight. It’s too bad they didn’t have them do the patriotic numbers that played throughout the fireworks.
I know for a family event you aren’t going to play “America, Fuck Yeah” from the South Park boys but for Uncle Sam’s sake, why would you play the Pat Boone version of “Proud to be an American” instead of Lee Greenwood?
I want that patriotic, psychotic growl of Greenwood’s, clenching my nads with national pride!
Aside from that, the evening got my flag waving. Well Done Deer Valley!
