We had a BLAST, Literally!

This year we decided to brave the crowds and attend the fireworks up close and personal. What a Blast we had! We went to the Peoria Sports Complex, only 15 minutes from our house. Had a brief delay entering one parking lot, and we had to be rerouted from since it was full. What a bonus, we parked only 10 spaces from the entrance in the second parking lot.

We brought our own food and beverages. We missed the Luke Airforce fly over by only 5 minutes, so I know better for next year. Bucky Covington from American Idol fame entertained us. He and his band were pretty darn good. The fireworks lasted approx 15 minutes and was well worth it. It was intense, being so close to the sound effects. No problems exiting the parking lot, it was a smooth transition. We're already making plans for next year.
