Countdown to Fireworks

I love the Fourth of July and by that I mean I love fireworks! This year is the 30th anniversary of the fireworks on the Innerbelt. I'm for the last few years I've been a regular at this event and this year will be no exception. They will start Monday at 9:45 and be accompanied by the Akron Symphony.

In other Fourth of July news, this weekend is the Third Annual Akron Family Barbeque. If you really want to check it out, go on Friday. This is the only day it is free. Saturday, Sunday and Monday you'll have to pay $5 to get through the gates. For the price you will get some live music. Starting everything off on Friday are The TwistOffs and The Gypsies in the Pace (7:30 and 9:00). Saturday you'll get to hear Rumplestiltskin (4:00), Cherrelle (5:30), Alexander O'Neal (7:00), and Morris Day & the Time. Up on Sunday are Big Daddy and the Hoodoo Men (4:00), Micheal Hill's Blues Mob (5:30), The Colin John Band (7:00), and The Fabulous Thunderbirds (8:30). Finishing up the holiday weekend, Monday's musical guests are Cathy Richardson Band (4:00), Vance Gilbert (6:00), Don McLean (7:30) and Akron Symphony Orchestra (8:00 - 9:15).

For all of you Lime Spider fans out there, don't shy away from the bar because of the Akron Family Barbeque. If you tell the people at the gate you're on your way to The Lime Spider, they'll let you through. If they try to get you to pay, don't do it. Call The Lime Spider (330.762.2350) and tell 'em what's going on and they'll fix the problem.
