Fenton Founder's Day - Part 3

After popping home for tea we went back to the Fenton Founder's Day event to see the fireworks. Earlier on in the day, we were able to get a parking space in the middle of the park, but when we got back the entire park now seemed to be one huge parking lot. We were right out at the edge of the park & it took over 15 minutes to walk from our parking space to the entertainment area.

We saw one of our friends, Sherri, in the afternoon & we agreed to meet up with her & her family in the evening. We found Sherri, her mum, Emily & Jordan sat close to the play area with a really good view of the stage. After the band finished, the lights in the park were turned off in readiness for the fireworks. These were set to music & were still going 20 minutes later. When the finale started it literally became daytime in the park with so many fireworks being set off at the same time that you couldn't actually see all of them. Both Cheryl & I agreed that this was the best fireworks display that we had seen (even bettering that at Disneyworld during our Honeymoon) & couldn't believe that it was free! We're already looking forward to the founder's day celebration next year!
