Fireworks at 7pm??? This is a typo, right?
I understand you are reporting what they are reporting to you. I am only trying to point out that it will not be dark from 7-9 and for them to refer to that time as the fireworks show is a little misleading...how about concert concluding with fireworks at 9pm? Again...not your problem but worded improperly in my opinion.
