NOTE: If you’re thinking of watching the fireworks from there: Nice try.
Burying Hill will be closed. There are not enough town employees to staff it. All hands are needed at Compo.
==================================================
Okay, I lied. Here’s one more saving-space photo. I had to include it, because of the over-the-top yellow police caution tape.
Do NOT mess with these guys!

Crime scene.
I wish Parks & Rec who usually do a wonderful job would have told us before the day of the fireworks that Burying Hill Beach is closed for the fireworks. We will have a disappointed granddaughter.
Not everyone is willing/able to navigate the Compo chaos!
You can park at Greens Farms Station and walk over. It doesn’t sound like there will be anyone there to turn you away.
Chris, they close the gates to get in!
