Some things are worth waiting for.
Living History Weekend fell victim to a nor’easter in September. Saturday’s do-over in Morristown featured America 250 events at Macculloch Hall, the Sansay House and the Woman’s Club — capped by fireworks, courtesy of Sanofi.
These were crowd-pleasers: Long, loud and colorful.
Video: A rousing finale behind the Presbyterian Church in Morristown:
“It was pretty. I love fireworks at 6 pm!” said Stephanie Geannakopoulos of Morristown, who watched from the Green with husband Chris and daughters Stella, 6, and Sophie, 2.
The Monaghans of Morris Township enjoyed the show, too. “It was a nice way to end a week off,” said Dave, the dad of Eli, 8, and Hank, 10, who were off last week for the Morris School District’s fall recess. They were joined by grandparents Jim and Nancy.
“It was beautiful. The night was clear and not windy, and the fireworks were awesome,” said Darlene Donegan of Morristown. She and her husband Jim know all about fireworks on the Green: They experienced them when they met there. They will celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary this month.
