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.

I remember. They use to have an emcee on the roof of the building on the boardwalk and sometimes a barbershop quartet or a band concert. When it was time for the fireworks the emcee would say "Dominic are you ready" and Dominic would wave the flare that lit the fireworks. Too fun!!
