Canonsburg Pennsylvania.. 2 days before July 4th parade 2008

This is the city of Canonsburg Pennsylvania July 2, 2008. This is two days before the July 4th parade. The July 4th parade has become so massive through the years people line their chairs up on the street days before the event. The Fourth of July committee does a fantastic job. I grew up in this town and always loved it. When I was a child debris from a fireworks shells landed in my eye and I had to wear a patch on my eye for days. It happened when I was watching a July 4th fireworks display at the stadium in Canonsburg during the late 60's. I like to tell people that is when the desire to shoot professional fireworks got into my blood. From that day on I always had a passion for fireworks. Through the years I worked on some of the largest fireworks displays in Pittsburgh and the largest fireworks display in the country in Louisville. If you are following my fireworks videos you can see some of them. But I never worked on the one that may mean the most to me and that would be a fireworks display in Canonsburg on July 4th. Perhaps one day.
