After the fireworks, us kids got to sleep on the drive back home. Do they still hold gala July 4th celebrations like this at Lititz?

Yes, Lititz still puts on a fabulous 4th of July celebration, and in fact they have a festival or art show or something almost every weekend there -- a great promotional group at work there. I remember going to the picnic there on a 4th of July around 1959 or so. Janet....
I was there at least once, maybe a couple times. 1959 sounds about right. I'd really like to see one of their 04 July shows again. I remember the floating candles, but can't picture anymore exactly what sort of waterways they were floating in. I'm hoping my Dad has more pics from Lititz that I haven't uncovered yet.
The park is called Lititz Springs, so I guess the water comes out of a spring, but they have a concrete-lined canal (maybe 5 feet wide??) going through the park, and this is what the candles are on. There was a beauty pageant too, but I am fuzzy on the details. Why I think it was 1959 is I was busy all day trying to prevent 3 antsy little boys from falling in the water!
