From the minutes of the Crozet Community Association January 11, 2007 Meeting:
July 4th Fireworks- The Fire Dept announced that they will not be sponsoring the July 4th Fireworks in 2007, due to the high cost of fireworks. There will still be a parade and other activities (to be presented later). Other sponsors are encouraged- estimated costs are $5,000 for 15-20 minutes and $10,000 for 25-30 minutes of Fireworks.
If you’ve enjoyed the wonderful annual fireworks at Crozet Park, it’s time to lend your support. Anyone interested in creating/joining a “Save the Crozet Fireworks†committee? Respond here and let’s get started to keep the fireworks going in Crozet!
Who wants to join in and help fund the fireworks? Might somebody have already taken up the case? Email me if you are interested.

I think one of the first things that needs to be fixed with Crozet fireworks is to have them on the 4th of July! Amazing concept. But having them sometimes 3 days before totally loses the feel of the 4th of July.
If that were the case, more people may be willing to go and hence save this tradition.
That is an excellent point, and one I have always been curious about.
