Our Nations Holiday - July 4th!

What better way to celebrate the 4th of July than with an amazing fireworks display accompanied by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra?  I took my mom to The Henry Ford for their annual Salute to America this year and they played many favorites especially the Overture of 1812.  She thoroughly enjoyed it and I made lots of brownie points!!
That  evening there were over 8,500 people, the largest turn out in ten years - what an amazing crowd of people.  Everyone seemed in great spirits and enjoying the summer evening.  Prior to the orchestra starting they had games, fife and drum corps, barber shop quartet entertaining the crowd.




What a great evening!
