Freedom Fire Fireworks for Free

Freedom isn't free, neither are seats at a fireworks show. The big fireworks show in Logan this year was really expensive. I mean it jumped from last years price of $7 to $45 a seat. I remember last year complaining how expensive it was, oh man I miss those days. Now, honestly, if the prices stay that high I don't think we will ever make it into the stadium. What's the point when you can do it on the cheap. Oddly this is what most locals did, watched the fireworks from outside the stadium.

We actually made our way to a place called Aggie Village; it's student housing for USU and it's a parking lot away from the stadium. Sweet! All along 1400 North and down to about 600 East there was a patch work of blankets laid out for most of the day. I mean there are some people who are dedicated fireworks watchers who don't actually want to pay. Anyway so we went to Aggie Village and saw a lot of friends hanging out and having fun. Something interesting is, not one person I have spoken with actually went. Most all my pals watched from various parts of Logan. Too funny! Best line of the night, Math with his ears securely covered with less than two minutes into the show, "I want to go back home! (cry a little)"
I made an accidental vlog of it. Actually it was filmed from my phone and its just the finale. Then it just seemed reasonable to upload it onto youtube. If you watch it here is a warning. I am screaming! It is so loud and annoying. I couldn't hear myself scream during the fireworks but the phone picked it up and drown out the booming of the fireworks. Just turn it down and play Katy Perry's Fireworks or maybe Neil Diamond's Coming to America. Just something patriotic. It was a great show and it was free. I think I mentioned before that I like free.
