Where's everyone watching? Who puts on the best show?
I'm thinking Mineola Bay.

I'll hit Wauconda on the 3rd. They usually have beer on tap, decent food and a decent show. Then I can get all liquored up on my day off on the 4th and not drive anywhere. :P After Waucondafest and the 4th, I'll have my fill of drinking MGD in Cook Park until next June! :P :P :P
From the price they spend on the show, Mineola Bay looks to be the best one in Lake County by far. I'm a transplant, and I have never heard of it before.
Wauconda's fireworks are always awesome.
Where's Mineola Bay?
Fox Lake. Info says they spend $65,000 on the show. Wauconda spends $17,000. The Mineola Bay show is listed for Saturday the 7th.
The only time I remember not having fun at Wauconda was a year that it rained and the park was flooded. I can't remember if that was for fireworks or Waucondafest.
the mineola bay fireworks are one of the better shows but it might be just cause my fam has a house on the east side of the bay and we get front row seats. downtown chicagos are good also if you dont mind dealing with over a million people.
my neighbors were busy last sat night
sounded like they spent a lot
ill be at lake shelbyville tonight
