Derby Fesitval

I live in a town in Northern Kentucky/Southern Indiana. You've never heard of it unless you've heard of the Derby Horse Race, which you probably have.

So I live in the city where Derby takes place, and the Derby Festival has just started. Yesterday it kicked off with Thunder Over (Name of My City), which is the second biggest firework show in the world (second to China). It can be seen from SPACE, no joke. It was pretty amazing and lots of fun, and here's a few picture of it I found on the internet. If I can get the video that we took of it on my computer, I'll post some of it (not all of it, though! It's half an hour!)

PICTURES!This picture shows the fireworks on the Indiana side of the Ohio River

Mostly taken of the fireworks that came off the Kentucky-Indiana Bridge.
Oooh! Pretty Colors!
Ah....
Wow.
Sparks are falling off the bridge like a waterfall. My favorite part!
The Bridge and Kentucky Side of the river (Thunder Over ___ takes place on the river)

COLORS!!!!!

My favorite part though, may be this:

_____ was a pedestrian city for one day! It made me so happy! Another thing about that was that this year, my family got tickets and enjoyed it on this one boat, The Belle of ________. This way, my cousins and sisters and I all got to sit down, and use the camera to zoom in on a) people we thought we knew, b) good-looking guys, and c) Creepers In The Crowd.

So although I hate Derby, it has its good parts, like
-Thunder Over ______
-My town gets the day off for Derby (Yay!), and
-The town is flooded with celebrities on Derby Day (my sister's friend once got Usher's autograph).

So...yeah. My town rocks.
