Where and what time would the fireworks begin. Had no clue what he was talking about. An older colleague who was , by this time, fed up of stupid things we’ve been asked… curtly told him
. Why on earth do you think we’d be celebrating July 4? The man genuinely believed there would be fireworks and some sort of party/parade.

Your Backyard Is About To Look Like It’s Straight Out Of A Pinterest Board Titled “Epic July 4th Glow-Up” Thanks To These Expansive 100ft Outdoor String Lights
Review: “These lights are perfect for my little patio area. The lights have different settings, but are not super bright on their brightest setting. They create good ambient lighting and aren’t meant to light up the area, if that’s what you’re looking for. It also has a timer function; my lights come on about 8:30pm and stay on for about 3 hours. We attached the solar panel to the top of the pergola.” – Steph
