Compo Fireworks, Albeit Smaller, Excite Crowds Tonight

Families gathered along the shoreline tonight to enjoy fireworks, although smaller and less crowded than in past years, set off by local Compo Beach neighbors. Firework displays could be seen across the Sound on Long Island, in addition to many local displays along the Saugatuck River, Cedar Point, and in neighboring communities.
