I happen to be one of those that enjoys it. I can't imagine this is a problem for more than a few people. Perhaps those few people could be given earplugs to minimize the aggravation it causes them. I have never heard any complaints, there's plenty of warning, as you know when they are going to fire the weapons, by watching them prepare them for firing and should be able to cover your ears. These people do realize it's a blank shot right? There's nothing actually being discharged from the weapons except for a little smoke. I think it's ridiculous that the celebration should be restricted because a small amount of people, can't explain what the historical value of understanding as much as possible, what it was like for people back in those days. It's important that history be taught unrestricted, at least as far as this is concerned. The celebration is most peoples only chance to see a little of what it was like in those days. Restricting it a little now, will only lead to someone else complaining later and even more restriction, until firing of them is eliminated completely, which would be completely ridiculous. Teach your children, instead of overreacting to a celebration of history. Who is this person to believe she has a right to change or ask privately for a change to a public celebration? This is a public event, any changes to it are of concern to the town, the whole town and the people who organize and donate their time to this celebration. To think one person should expect to be allowed to make a change privately, is ridiculous, in my opinion.
