Freedom Fest (July 4) cancelled

[Guest]

I was sad to see in the Daily Journal that Bismarck has cancelled this years July 4th celebrations. My family has enjoyed the festivities for years and it will be missed. I hope it comes back better and bigger next year.

Bad economy for one...then the pre-school was torn up by a tornado and that building provides most of the electric needed for the rides and stuff. Also, the price of the fireworks doubled I think they said. There is an article about it in the Daily Journal Online.

I totally agree with you. I have family that lives there. When I go to visit, I sneak in and out. I have never seen so many people addicted to meth, heroin, oxys, etc. I love the mountains and the beautiful land there, but some of the people make it a sore sight.
On the other hand, there are some decent people that live there also. One time my aunt told me she was going to take me to a place there called Fiji in Ironton. I don't even know what to say about that place. When we drove through, I was in shock. I didn't realize people actually lived that way. There were extension cords going from one home to the other- I guess someone got their electric cut off.
