RED BANK LIGHTS UP

Img_2902

Maybe it was the price of gasoline, but most observers agreed this year’s KaBoom crowd in downtown Red Bank wasn’t quite as teeming as it’s been in recent years.

Still, last night’s fireworks show was a blast, as befits the largest such display in New Jersey, in which some 100,000 shells were lofted skyward.

Here are some photos of the fireworks on the ground before, during and after the show. To see if anyone you know is mugging it up, click to enlarge.
