Bonnie,
Wow, that surprises me. What a let down. I know things are tough and a lot of areas just can’t afford to have them anymore but why do something if you can’t do it right? I doubt those folks attending will return next year. Sorry for the disappointment!

RE: ROSEVILLE FIREWORKS SHOW (NOT!)

W O W !!! WHAT A LET DOWN THAT WAS, HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES WERE ALL IN PLACE PROMPTLY AT 9:30PM WAITING FOR THE BIG SHOW. I ACTUALLY SPOKE TO A FEW PEOPLE FROM OUT OF TOWN WHO THOUGHT THAT THE SHOW WAS THE LOW LEVEL FIREWORKS THAT WE COULD BARELY SEE OVER THE FENCE NEAR THE RACE TRACK. BUT I SAID NO JUST WAIT THE SHOW WILL BE RIGHT ABOVE US, IT WIL BE GREAT. WELL, AT APPROX. 10:00 PM ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND PEOPLE WERE STUNNED. EVERYONE LEFT IN DIS-BELIEF THAT THERE WAS NO SHOW! NOT EVEN A SIGN OF TRAFFIC POLICE TO HELP WITH THE MAD EXIT. THE WORKERS AT THE FAIRGROUNDS DIDN’T EVEN KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. THIS WAS REALLY A BAD SCENE!

Joel, I’m assuming you live in an area that allows the safe sane kind of fireworks and that answer I would think varies with the neighborhoods and fire and police departments. You might want to give the local fire department a call and ask them about your specific neighborhood.

Eric, fireworks at Raley Field are only when there is a home game and that was yesterday, July 3rd. Sorry if you missed it.

Susan, yes and no. The City of Roseville could not fund the entire amount that it cost to put on the firework display. Sierra View Country Club is partnering with the City of Roseville this year for the firework display which will be launched from Sierra View Country Club and can be seen from Placer County Fairgrounds for FREE.

The City of Roseville is still sponsoring the July 4th Celebration in Royer Park from 11 am to 2 pm.

So go and have FUN!!!

Kim, who told you that? LOL You can’t see fireworks that early. The fireworks start at 9:30 over at the County Fairgrounds.
