Ok, where did 30K worth of fireworks go? 20 shells does not qualify for a 4th celebration. I would have expected better at a High school football game.
The newspaper did a wonderful job of making it sound exciting.

"This year’s “Hilo Bay Blast 2014” will celebrate Independence Day with the traditional Fourth of July Fireworks exhibition over Hilo Bay Friday at 8 p.m.?
The cost to insure the event was $15,000; state, county and city permits totaled $5000. Security was another $5,000. The fireworks company charged $4,500 to put the show on and they charged $500 for the 20 shells they fired into the bay.
