Free HSR shuttle bus service to the park from King and John, 6-11:45 p.m. Burlington's fireworks (Spencer Smith Park, dusk) are accompanied by the HPO.

BTW, cheap subscriptions (which, like half-price newsstand campaigns, are often timed during circulation audits to provide a bump in readers) seem to get you on a lot of junk mail/telemarket lists. No free lunch, as they say.
Well I guess that explains why they didn't advertise The Festival of Friends at the front page of the Hamilton Spectator that weekend.

$100.00 for every complaint eh? Seeing how we have a bunch of complainers in this town they should be able to generate MILLION$ with this gimmick.
