Marianne McCann's Last Fireworks For Summer 2018

Every Saturday night in the summertime at 8PM SL time, Marianne McCann of Bay City likes to head to the schoolhouse at Livingtree, invite her friends over, and shoot off a few fireworks. But Saturday September 1 would be the last Saturday night before Labor Day. And thus this would be the last one, "So, tonight is it! My last firework show of the Summer! It'll start at 8:00 p.m. SLT, but you might want to come a bit early and grab a seat. Come on down to Livingtree, if you wish!"

As the crowd watched, Marianne lit off firework after firework. "Good thing the school is fireproof," someone mused, "Well, bricks don' burn too easy maybe." Down below, DJ GoSpeed Racer played songs such as "Summer Moved On" by A-Ha, "September" by Earth Wind and Fire, and "Back To School Again" by the Four Tops. A few would hit the ground, and result in colored clouds on the ground, "Almost drug induced lights."

At 8:28, GoSpeed was playing her ending theme, "Man or Astroman.""I end all my Fireworks sets with this tune," she explained. The crowd applauded, "Another awesome summer of fireworks." "Only 9 months until Summer of 2019!" It was mentioned that "Hot Bay City Nights" didn't take place this year due to the person who usually made the plans being unavailable. So with the fireworks gone, Bay City has several weeks until the next event: the Creepy Crawl.

And with the rainbow of lights, the fireworks were over, at least until next year.

Marianne McCann's Last Fireworks For Summer 2016

Bay City's Marianne McCann is noted for a number of things. Among them, her firework shows at 8PM every Saturday night during the summer. Starting with Memorial Day weekend, she lit off her pyrotechnical displays every week. But with Labor Day weekend, the traditional end of summer, it was time for the last hurrah. And around 7:45PM on September 3, she announced to all on her friend list this would be the last show for the year.

The firework show as always took place in the Livingtree sim at "Kick the Can," a school building for SL kids. The fireworks were taxing to the location's fire alarms, "Oh no, not again!" But for the onlookers, the response was all "Oooooo"S and "Ahhhhh"s. GoSpeed Racer of KONA Radio provided the tunes. Among those there was Uccello "Uccie" Poultry, former Miss Bay City and the writer of the Poultry Report blog, and Crap Mariner, a SL personality whom has been more low key recently than in the past.

A few of the fireworks hit a little low, such as this one right here which created a flash of green light. One other obscured the immediate area around with mostly smoke.

At the end of the show was the rainbow display. And with that came the end of the firework shows, at least until next year. Starting Memorial Day Weekend in 2017, Marianne launches her rockets once again.
