Kaboomerang!!!
August 30th, 2006Every year for the last 5 years or so, my family and friends have gathered to watch the amazing fireworks show in Addison, Texas known as Kaboom Town. If you went this year, you would have seen some fabulous fireworks but left a tad disappointed as the much anticipated finale … didn’t happen. 
From Addison on Kaboom Town:
When rain caused Addison’s award-winning Kaboom Town fireworks to sputter and fizzle Monday night, July 3, the irony of that famous line from the movie Apollo 13 couldn’t have been more appropriate! Not only was an Apollo 13 recovery team member honored as one of the evening’s armed services veterans, but the movie itself — which had been scheduled to follow the fireworks — was cancelled due to the weather.
But at the Tuesday, July 11 Addison City Council meeting, council members picked up yet another famous line from the movie, Gene Kranz’ legendary statement, “Failure is not an option!”
The council voted to repeat the famed fireworks show, which is annually recognized as one of the top 10 fireworks displays in the nation. The fireworks will be rescheduled to coincide with Pepsi Kid-Around, an event to be held in Addison Circle Park over the Labor Day weekend. The fireworks show will start at 8:30 p.m. Sunday, September 3. The movie will be aired following the fireworks’ grand finale.
The most important note being…
The fireworks show will start at 8:30 p.m. Sunday, September 3.
So tell all your friends 
and go have fun!!!
