This is better than Oshkosh.

B1-Bomber (Sometimes a B-2)
A-10 Warthogs (Crowd Favourites)

along with numrous other noisy planes. The Fireworks display lasts about an hour and it is pretty good - and I'm not into fireworks.

Galena has a fairly big Independence Day Parade the following morning, and, there's lots of shops there to keep your other half occupied.

So what was the hardest thing for people to say goodbye to (And lets say other then family & friends) to make it interesting, lol!
Bring some decent Cadbury's Chocolate over with you, and some Galaxys, because Hersheys is Crap.

Might want to bring some Birds Trifle Mix with you, too, because Hersheys is Crap.

Did I mention that Hersheys was Crap?

Yeah, I was pretty impressed and they seem to hit the clearance bins on a semi regular basis, so even cheaper.
