Letter to the Editor: Best fireworks I’ve ever seen

1 min read

To the Editor,

I have sent you some photos of the Wilton Blueberry Festival Fireworks display that was on Sunday August 5.

The fireworks display was one of the best that I have see.

We all would like to thank Shannon Smith and her helpers for putting on a great Wilton Blueberry Festival for everyone to enjoy.

Thank You,

  2. Ditto Jim and Carol. I have gone to fireworks shows in much larger cities, and I still think this year’s display was the best I have ever seen. Phenomenal job to all who organize this event!

  3. Thank you for Jim for the nice compliments on the fireworks. Glad everyone enjoyed them. One never knows how they will go off because of the weather. Looking forward to 2019 to see the Mardi Gras colors.

  4. I think Wilton should ban fireworks and just put on displays like the Blueberry Festival and develop a holiday schedule of displays open to the public. I am sick of neighbors noise from them and zero control how close they are used to my buildings and property line. The fireworks issue IS the reason why I am leaving the area—tear the older buildings down and buy a farm ELSEWHERE. You are not going to get people investing hundreds of thousands in homes, businesses, farms etc. when the person with a camp next door can set off fireworks right over your home.

  5. Cudo’s to Sharon for putting forth the effort to put on a really great show as the late great Ed Sullivan used to say. I was going to comment on the fireworks because on first glance they were pretty much run of the mill commercial shells and nothing like what a club like the New Hampshire Pyrotechnics Club shoots, show off. I have often tried to tough the benefits of having something like that here because of the way they promote the art, education,and safety but there is a much bigger issue at the heart of the matter.
    Wilton was once a bustling community of of mill workers,factory workers,and entrepreneurs of many different flavors but the business were plagued with regulation high taxes outright refusal by town government to make the necessary changes to be more business friendly on local,state,and federal levels so at one point it looked like a ghost town.
    Of course outer state’rs came here to buy up cheap farm land post it and try to create their own private utopia. The question is at what kind of community do you want to have? One riddled with poverty and crime with a few wealthy land owners restricting access and fair use or a healthy prosperous community and a very fun place to be and visit?
