Default Remember back in the 60's

When I was much younger in the late 60's Weirs had fireworks every Sunday in the summer. I remember watching the Weirs fireworks by boat was a great date idea; I never got turned down .

One interesting thing they use to have at the end of the show was a last firework that launched a container held by a parachute holding like $5 or some amount. All the boats use to race in to retrieve the parachute. They ended it when too many boats got a little too aggressive and starting smashing into each other. No one got hurt so it was very funny.
