Hey Parrot Heads! Get a Double Shot of Jimmy Buffett and Fireworks

Remember how disappointed you were when rain washed out your Fourth of July fireworks?

Think of them now as end-of-summer Labor Day parties. Norcross (Friday) and Lilburn (Sunday) rescheduled their celebrations for this weekend. Added bonus: Jimmy Buffett tribute band A1A is scheduled to play both cities.
