"There were a half a million people there," Shubow said. "The fireworks were above the reflecting pool on the Mall between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. They were the best fireworks I've ever seen!" Interfraternity Council President Ken Tanner, an Engineering senior, spent the weekend in Missouri. "I went to a rodeo with my family and girlfriend," Tanner said. "It was the only thing going on in a small town in Missouri. "It was my break from bailing hay. We also did our own fireworks because they're legal there," Tanner said. Ann Arbor Mayor Ingrid Sheldon celebrated the holiday with members of the community by participating in the city's annual Fourth of July parade. The procession wound through the downtown area and included march- ing bands and floats representing community groups and businesses. Sheldon, an Ann Arbor native, said she was pleased with the community's involvement in the Fourth of July fes- tivities.
