Leave Your Pets at Home – Dogs do not enjoy the loud noises made by the fireworks. Leave them home in the quiet of an air conditioned room. More dogs are lost on July 4th than any other day of the year.
-
Alcoholic Beverages, Smoking and Fireworks are not allowed on the Catonsville High School property.
-
Come Early/Stay Late – Plan to come early and enjoy the pre-fireworks entertainment beginning at 6:30 p.m. Bring a blanket, some leftover food from your afternoon cookout and enjoy the music. If you stay for ½ hour after the fireworks, you can avoid most traffic jams.
-
Walk to the Fireworks – You don’t have to worry about parking or traffic hassles plus it is good for the environment!
-
Don’t Cut Across Athletic Fields – Don’t walk across the athletic field after the fireworks as a shortcut to get home. The fields are roped off so that crews can disassemble the displays.
-
Be Patient – When the fireworks are finished, please be patient. Valley Rd. has to be inspected for fallen debris before traffic can resume. Traffic patterns also have to be altered to ensure a safe trip for everyone.
