I’ll be watching every firework show in WNY from my roof. 30+ sets of fireworks in a complete 360deg, Including the ones shot off 1/4 mile from me.

Our  
Lady  
Peace

Anyhow, I plan to spend the entire long weekend on my boat. They always launch fireworks off of a barge by the Holiday Inn on the east branch of the river. I’ll watch them from my boat, then dock at my inlaws so I don’t have to deal with a log-jam at the launch.

I usually check out UB’s, they put on a pretty good show. Mickey Rats is good too but that’s not the best ride to be DWI’ing home when there are cops out in force like on the 4th.
