This group is ready for the fireworks.
And basketball.

Not parked — just a drop-off.
Those chairs will be joined by many, many others — they already have been, in fact.
The Westport fireworks — sponsored by Melissa and Doug Bernstein, and Westport PAL — don’t start for another 14 or so hours.

Meanwhile, for the first time this year, Police have restricted parking on Hillspoint Road. The goal is to help move traffic after the show.
Illegally parked cars will be ticketed — and towed to Longshore.
