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.

if anyone has respiratory conditions you might want to research the effects of local exposure to fireworks. I just did an AI search and it may be helpful to read.
