Red, White, and Boom celebration

Every July 4th Great Waters is the host for the annual Red, White, and Boom celebration at Reynolds Plantation. We have a band, bounce houses for the kids, tons of food, and the night is capped off with fireworks. A lot of hard work and time goes into planning an event like this and our department only does a small portion. We have to rope off everything to keep people far enough away from the fireworks and to keep people from playing on the greens. We also assist with the massive clean up that takes place that night and the next day.







These last few pictures show what aerosol cans can do to turfgrass. I have seen both spray sunscreen and bug spray cause this. Since this event was in the late evening I would imagine that these were from bug spray and not sunscreen. These areas usually heal up within a week but they are unsightly during that time. In the first picture you can see the footprints perfectly.
