Playland fireworks a dud on July 4:
Not only did the show start about 15 minutes late but after just a few fireworks, the show stopped. Even worse, Playland didn’t provide any explanation over the PA system.
The fireworks started again around 10:30, but by then most people had gone home.
I heard it was technical problems. Overall it was a huge FAILURE!!! And if the county needed to add to its problems of attendance that was it. The one day a year you draw people and this happens. I have to say compared to past 4th of julys this actually seemed like less people.
