Today has brought all kinds of nice e-mails and Facebook posts from folks who saw the July 4 Fireworks show put on by Zambelli fireworks on Sunday night.

Judy and I worked very hard to raise the over $17,500 needed to fund the fireworks show after the City of Sanibel had canceled them due to budget cutbacks.

We are very thankful to the Friends of the July 4 Fireworks who helped keep our much loved island tradition alive. What a great way to honor our Founding Fathers!

We posted a 3-part video on YouTube under wildlimegirl, and on our Facebook page, Cottages to Castles.

Take a gander, and if you like what you see, make your reservation and join us July 2 - 9, 2011 for the Island Independence Day Fun!

Cheers!
