A
Welcome
to
inside
Boulder
news,
I'm
natalie
wood,
the
biggest
fireworks
display
in
boulder
county
is
set
to
light
up
folsom
field.
Next
Thursday
Ralphie's,
Independence,
Day
blast
is
back
this
fourth
of
July,
thanks
to
favorable
conditions
in
the
partnership
between
see
you
right,
Kingdom
real
estate
and
the
city
of
Boulder.
It's.
B
Totally
a
boulder
tradition,
people
have
picnics
in
their
backyard,
they
bike
over.
They
walk
over,
they
take
the
bus,
the
hop
whatever
they
get
to
folsom
field
and
really
the
anticipation
930
quarter
to
ten
at
night
on
fourth
of
July
is
so
great
to
see
all
the
people
come
together
and
enjoy
an
awesome.
Fireworks
display,
Ralphie
rule
run
on
the
fourth
of
July
prior
to
the
fireworks
display
and
there's
always
traditionally
been
a
great
sing-along.
B
The
university
would
not
be
able,
nor,
with
the
city
of
Boulder,
be
able
to
put
this
tremendous
event
on
without
the
support
of
right,
Kingdom
realtor's
they've
been
able
to
step
up
financially
to
support
the
fireworks
display
and
I.
Think
it's
really
a
great
outreach
to
put
this
together,
particularly
for
kids
on
a
holiday
that
kids
enjoy
so
much
gates.
A
Open
at
8pm
on
the
fourth,
with
pre-show
celebrations,
the
fireworks
show
was
canceled
last
summer
due
to
high
fire
risk,
while
conditions
this
year
have
improved
fire
that
gets
out
of
control,
presents
a
danger
to
property
and
lives.
There
are
several
things
you
can
do
to
be
safe,
this
holiday.
This.
C
Is
our
second
year
in
a
severe
drought
and
conditions
are
very
dry,
so
we
are
have
a
heightened
awareness
to
the
use
of
fireworks
and
the
dangers
that
they
could
present.
Should
they
catch
dry,
grasses
or
dry
trees
on
fire,
it
could
be
devastating
in
a
community.
That's
as
dense
as
Boulder
because
of
the
fire
danger
were
increasing
our
enforcement
of
fireworks
and
reminding
people
of
the
dangers
of
fireworks,
especially
in
times
when,
when
things
are
this
dry.
D
Fireworks
are
illegal
in
the
city
of
Boulder.
We
are
at
high
fire
danger,
we're
not
at
very
higher
extreme,
yet
we're
just
starting
to
Teeter
into
into
the
very
high
realm.
Our
fuels
conditions
are
starting
to
cure
out,
which
means
they're
not
taking
any
moisture,
they're
dry
and
brittle
ready
ready
for
ignition.
The.
C
D
D
If
you
look
around
your
house
and
find
places
where
pine
needles
and
die
leaves
gather
the
embers
from
a
wildfire
travelling
the
wind
in
the
exact
same
way,
so
if
you
find
a
spot
where
the
wind
Eddie's
all
those
dry
leaves
and
needles,
if
you
get
those
cleaned
up,
then
the
embers
won't
have
any
place
to
land
it
catch
fire.
It's.
C
All
about
safety,
it's
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
it's
a
safe
holiday
that
people
have
a
good
time,
but
that
you
know
nobody
is
injured
or
no
property
is
lost
because
of
careless
use
of
fireworks.
If
we
find
people
in
possession,
if
we
will
be
issuing
summonses,
we're
taking
a
zero-tolerance
approach
because
of
the
dangers
that
we're
facing
in
this
state
at
this
time,
if
you.
D
A
Who
sees
the
fireworks
violation
is
asked
to
report
it
immediately
to
boulder
police
for
more
fire
prevention
tips.

Firewise

boulder
reservoir
will
be
a
fun
family.
Stop
this
independence
day
staff
is
making
changes
like
admitting
children
12
and
under
for
free
restricting
alcohol
and
raising
fees
for
adults.
This.
E
Year
for
the
fourth
of
July,
we
are
trying
to
do
a
little
culture
shift
at
the
boulder
reservoir
and
make
it
more
of
a
family-oriented
event
highlights.
For
this
year.
We
will
have
some
live
bands
that
will
be
playing
throughout
the
day.
We
will
be
having
a
beer
garden
where
beer
will
be
served
and
beer
will
stay
within
that
beer
garden
area.
In
previous
years
it's
been
allowed
throughout
the
facility.
I'm,
so
that'll
be
a
little
bit
different
this
year
and
we
will
be
patrolling
the
whole
area
with
all
of
our
staff.
E
Throughout
the
entire
day.
In
addition
to
having
police
on
site,
we
will
have
medical
on
site.
In
previous
years,
we've
had
to
call
for
medical
assistance,
so
we've
had
to
wait
for
them
to
come
to
the
site
this
year,
we'll
actually
have
medical
on
site
for
any
emergencies
that
happen.
Our
goal
is
to
increase
our
family
attendance
and
make
it
a
safer,
more
community
type
event.

A
F
All
over
Boulder
celebrating
Viking
we
go
way
out.
You
know,
there's
hot
breakfast,
there's
all
sorts
of
big
festivals.
There's
close
parking.
Lots
like
you
see
behind
me
and
Bank
places,
do
a
great
job,
but
I
can't
think
of
any
other
town.
That's
in
such
a
small
area
that
has
51
stations
that
really
compete
for
the
greatest
festival
of
each
location.
I
always
get
the
comment
that
walk
by
tourists
is
my
favorite
holiday.

of
unique
holiday
