Record-breaking droughts all over Texas created hazardous fire
conditions, but the VFW supported community safety by
canceling the fireworks that often closed the event. Reports
are that no one missed them (other than the fireworks sales
folks?) and there's talk in the community about possibilities
of permanent cancellation of fire hazards, maybe even a laser
show replacement.
The triple-digit heat and dry air seemed to affect most of the
animals and the cowpersons, but the kids hung right in there.
