Happy Birthday to the United States of America

It's worth noting that The Falmouth Fireworks Committee has managed to develop a nationally recognized fireworks show while using "no taxpayer money."

This year, because of Falmouth's budget constraints, the Committee has been asked to help cover the cost of the police department's overtime budget - something the town usually handles.

If you can, send a check (for any amount) to:

Falmouth Fireworks Committee
PO Box 500
Falmouth, MA 02540

I did.
