Lee District Fireworks

4th of JulyLee District Park will not be hosting fireworks for July 4th 2009; however, there are other venues hosting fireworks – see more below.

Lee District 4th Celebration 2009
from the Lee District Supervisor’s office

For many years, the Fourth of July has featured a fireworks show at Lee District Park. However, County budget cutbacks along with the construction of turf fields funded through the last park bond have made the park off bounds for any fireworks. However, the Fourth of July is a time for families and neighbors to come together and celebrate not only our nation’s birthday but also to strengthen community ties. Lee District Park will still host a Fourth of July celebration. This year, there will be a family-friendly musical program (provided by M&R Project and the Annandale Brass Ensemble) in the park amphitheater from 3-5 pm on the afternoon of July 4th. For details call Lee District Supervisor’s office 703-971-6262.

Alternative Locations (see more information below):

  • Lake Fairfax
  • Fort Belvoir (not open to public)
  • National Mall
  • City of Alexandria (on July 11th)

Beck & Scheuer WANT and WISH for Another Terrorist Attack in the US

Shayna Englin: You have to watch this to believe it – Glenn Beck and Michael Scheuer insist that only Osama Bin Laden can save America from Obama by ATTACKING US. Amazing bit of jujitsu here – note that if there is no attack, it’s because Bin Laden somehow did Obama a favor. Say it with me: these guys are WHACK JOBS, but dangerous because they bring the other whack jobs with ‘em.

Beck guest Michael Scheuer “The only chance we have as a country right now is” for bin Laden to “detonate a major weapon” in U S (via www.mediamatters.org).
