Another Fourth of July spent on Moose Island watching the Eastport fireworks. We have a pretty spectacular display and it just seems to get better each year.
Independence Day is celebrated along with Old Home Week here. People who have moved away try to get back to spend the holiday with their families. As the years go by more and more people seem to seek out Eastport for our famous festivities.
This year there didn't seem to be as many people in town. It may have been due to the lack of positive patriotic feelings because of our horrid and corrupt national politics which is a downer for everyone.
Also we had no navy ship in port. Usually each year we have a large navy ship at the dock for the celebration. Of course, since the Breakwater is still under reconstruction, it would have been difficult to have the ship anchored downtown as in the past.
Never-the-less there was a nice turn out and everyone seemed to have a great time.
