# Bay City Fireworks Festival

The Bay City Fireworks Festival is an American Independence Day festival held each year around the 4th of July on the Saginaw River near Veterans Memorial Bridge in Bay City, Michigan.
In addition to the fireworks display, the festival also features several days of live concerts, a carnival, boat tours and more.

## History

The festival originally started in 1962, by resident Richard Davis, and was funded by Bay City's Fraternal Order of Police at a cost of $2,500.
In 1982, the show was moved from a one night affair on the Fourth of July, becoming a weekend festival with three days of fireworks.
In 2008, the show included a barge in the middle of the river to make for a third launching site.
The fireworks display is usually produced by local fireworks company Wolverine Fireworks, which is based in Kawkawlin, Michigan, less than 10 miles from the site of the festival.
The fireworks were cancelled in 2020; however, during the [[COVID-19 pandemic].

## 50th anniversary

In 2012, the 50th anniversary of the Bay City fireworks Festival featured 50,000 fireworks shells, and a musically choreographed fireworks display that lasted more than 50 minutes, making it the largest fireworks display ever seen in Michigan at that time.
The festival was divided into three separate shows, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The Friday show featured the colors of area schools who helped raise money for that year's festival. The grand finale on Friday night featured the colors of whichever school raised the most money for the Fireworks Festival throughout the year.
While fundraising and setup for the festival is a year-round affair, actual set up for the fireworks display in 2012 required over 1,600 hours loading and arranging shells and wires. The shows were all choreographed to music, which were broadcast via speakers set up at Wenonah Park on the Saginaw River's east bank, and Veterans Memorial Park on the river's west bank. Music were broadcast over the radio on 94.5 F.M.
Performers included Bull Honkey Deluxe, Jedi Mind Trip, The Magic Bus, and Steel Wheels.

## Recognition

In 2012, the Bay City Fireworks Festival made a national list of great fireworks shows, as chosen by voters.

# The American Nightmare (2000 film)

The American Nightmare is a 2000 documentary film directed and written by Adam Simon. The film documents the relationship between independent horror film directors such as George A. Romero, John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper and Wes Craven and their relationship between the political and social changes of the era and the horror films of that time. The film was shown at the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival and was shown later on the Independent Film Channel.

## Production

Writer Adam Simon stated he wrote the film for audiences who enjoyed The Blair Witch Project to put independent horror films of the 1960s and 1970s into context. Simon described the film as a "way to sneak a history lesson in to young people who love horror movies. In that sense, I hope it will inspire a younger generation to get busy again, both as filmmakers and as citizens. For me, in some ways, the most distressing part of the movie was being forced to recognize how much more radical the press was, the media was, and film was than it is now. That was kind of depressing." Legal rights problems prevented inclusion of some titles, including those in the “Friday the 13th” series.

## Release

The American Nightmare was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2000. The film was shown on the Independent Film Channel shortly after in October 2000. The film was released on DVD on March 20, 2004.

## Reception

"GM" of Time Out described the film as a "thorough, intelligent and stylish study of the superior brand of horror movies that emerged from America in the late '60s and '70s." and that the film was "Good solid stuff, though given some of the academic work done on how the films relate to concepts of family, ritual, sexual politics and so on, you sometimes feel the makers might have probed a little deeper." Brian J. Dillard of AllMovie compared the film to Terror in the Aisles noting that while that film "merely strung together the money shots from a wide variety of horror films" that American Nightmare "takes a specific subset of this enduring genre and convincingly argues a case about its historical context and sociological significance." The review concluded that the documentary "offers an appealing mixture of meticulous research, historical anecdote, and twisted humor."
Eddie Cockrell of Variety found that "Simon infuses pic with the same nervous enthusiasm displayed by the genre’s fans" as well as that "the sheer ambition of docu’s structure is also its downfall. Arbitrary and too-cute title cards (“Home Is Where the Hearts Are,” “Staying Alive”) butt up against inconsistent year markers, with pic losing much of its head after about an hour."

# Scott Spencer (writer)

Scott Spencer (born September 1, 1945) is an American author who has written fourteen novels. He also wrote the screenplay for the 1993 movie Father Hood. Two of Spencer's novels, Endless Love and Waking the Dead, have been adapted into films. Endless Love was first adapted into a motion picture by Franco Zeffirelli in 1981, and a second adaptation by Shana Feste was released in 2014. Waking the Dead was produced by Jodie Foster and directed by Keith Gordon in 2000. The novels Endless Love and A Ship Made of Paper have both been nominated for the National Book Award, with Endless Love selling over 2 million copies. Spencer has heavily panned both film adaptations of Endless Love.
In a contribution to The New York Times Book Review in 1980, Spencer said: "The general direction of the serious, literary novel may now be heading toward character and story, as novelists, in order to survive, take back from pulp fiction and the movies the rich subject matter which they so carelessly cast off, thinking they no longer needed it." Joyce Carol Oates, writing about A Ship Made of Paper in The New Yorker, said: "Like Cheever, Spencer has imagined for his ... infatuated lover melodramatic crises that verge on the surreal; like John Updike, Spencer is a poet-celebrant of Eros, lyrically precise in his descriptions of lovers' fantasies, lovers' lovemaking, lovers' bodies ..." The Wall Street Journal has said: "There are few novelists alive who use the English language as Scott Spencer does ... Every ache of feeling, every failed effort at restraint, every attempt at self-deception is captured in precise, beautifully cadenced prose."
Spencer was born in Washington, D.C. He has worked as a journalist and has been published in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, GQ, O, The Oprah Magazine, and he is a regular contributor to Rolling Stone.
He has taught at Columbia University, the University of Iowa, Williams College, Bard College's Bard Prison Initiative, and the University of Virginia. Spencer attended the University of Illinois, Roosevelt University, and graduated from the University of Wisconsin. In 2004, he was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship. For the past twenty years, he has lived in a small town in upstate New York.
For two sequenced horror novels, Spencer has used the pseudonym ″Chase Novak″.
