Rounded out the evening with a viewing of "Fire Dancing" at the park. Fireworks are banned in Cannon Beach, so this was about as close as you could get. We went early and had an ice cream cone...man, I sure do not miss owning our old ice cream store...the young gal behind the counter said her arm was sore from scooping and I definitely remember that. I also remember the 4th of July our only help called in "sick". We got to the park early and had a chance to chat with our old neighbor Watt, who said he was the organizer of the show. He recommended a place to sit, I swiped some folding chairs from a booth, and we sat next to some friends of Helene's. The place started filling up and we discovered that we had been mislead about where they were performing, so we were lucky to get a spot up close next to Helene's boss, Margot & her husband, Paul.
The show was spectacular, with 5 performers doing some cirque de soleil type acrobatics holding flaming batons, some hoola hooping with multiple flames, flaming swords, etc. It was a very enjoyable free 45 minute entertainment and was capped off with a whole bunch of illegal skyrockets going off right in the heart of downtown! What a surprise. In all, a fun 4th.
