I tip my hat to the Blues baseball team in our town for not only offering good competitive baseball, but also for their fantastic Fourth of July spectacle.

Residents of San Luis Obispo have the best opportunity to enjoy magnificent fireworks in their town without having to drive to other communities and tackle the parking that goes along with it.

I thank the Blues organization for all that it takes to offer this patriotic celebration to San Luis Obispo residents. It’s a definite annual event in our family.

Anita Smith, San Luis Obispo
