Hey Parrot Heads! Get a Double Shot of Jimmy Buffett and Fireworks
Remember those Fourth of July fireworks rainouts? They're on in Lilburn, Norcross.
Remember how disappointed you were when rain washed out your Fourth of July fireworks?
Think of them now as end-of-summer Labor Day parties. Norcross (Friday) and Lilburn (Sunday) rescheduled their celebrations for this weekend. Added bonus: Jimmy Buffett tribute band A1A is scheduled to play both cities.
