Fireworks
If you live nearby, fireworks at Vassar College sound like mortar and small arms fire. For the last couple of years, they've had fireworks every 2 or 3 weeks (any occasion will do - Founders' Day, Spring, Celebrate Yourself Day, etc.) and never announce it in advance. I wouldn't be surprised if there have been a few heart attacks as a result of the loud, startling rat-a-tat-tats bursting in air.

Hi, I am a student at Vassar College and just wanted to let you know about our fireworks this year. Usually, the College does fireworks twice a year (once for incoming freshmen in early September) and once for Founder's Day in early may. This year, however, we had fireworks in late October when we inaugurated our tenth president Catherine Bind Hill. I will try to urge the College to do a better job of announcing the fireworks to the community - and even inviting them so that they can attend with their families.

I apologize for the disruption!
