From Stuff Found Under the Beacon Fax Machine

The fifth annual Bass Sparkler Contest is once again ready to light up the night sky on Friday afternoon.  Sparklers are a Bass Lake tradition and in keeping with that tradition local teens and tots are encouraged to grab as many sparklers as they can carry and bring them to the concrete bunker under the abandoned water tower at 3 pm sharp. Whoever manage to light the most sparklers at one time without setting themselves or their neighbors on fire will win a 5-gallon bucket.
