Ghost Beach: Hundreds of Chairs with Nobody to Fill Them ahead of Fireworks

Hundreds of community members headed to Compo Beach this morning - some before sunrise - to stake their claim on the sand ahead of Westport’s fireworks spectacular. The beach appears busier than ever for a Thursday morning, but was silent as the chairs waited idly by for their families to return. A Westport tradition every year: the sight was one for sore eyes after two years without the Independence Day celebration. WestportLocal.com photo
