I can completely sympathize with economic woes. If they had chosen to cancel the Meredith fireworks - okay - we have choices of nearby events that we could have attended. Or, at least let the public know that they would be scaled back.
I take my son down to the Lions' Rubber Duckie Race, and patronize local Main Street businesses during the day; perhaps they fear that such and influx would be lost without fireworks?
At any rate, even if towns cancel it, should other towns be burdened with the cost of fireworks, for their residents AND neighboring towns? (compromises?) I think there's a solution to be had here, but informing residents is the key element. The towns should manage the expectation, that's all. My 2 cents.

But what a beautiful weekend we FINALLY had for the holiday! Boy, did we EARN that or what?!
