Since we were having our neighbors over on the 3rd for a dinner, we missed the Town of Stanley event and went into Luray on the 4th. We'd heard some friends were gathering at the Victorian Inn (link below), where you can watch the fireworks from the front porch - the photo highlights the view.
There is new management at the "Vic" as it's now being called. Dave and Val and their family are running the show here and doing a great job. We've been for dinner a couple of times - on some nights there is full-fare menu service, but so far on the nights we've been there it was buffet style.
On the Fourth, the buffet included BBQ ribs and chicken, cole slaw, potato salad, and corn on the cob. Mary had the strawberry shortcake for desert (we took a walk down to the town festivities, where my desert was a small cone of butter pecan) - the shortcake was homemade by Val. Dinner was awesome, as it was the previous time, and it's a great value too.
The big surprise at the Vic was all the friends and neighbors we ended up seeing there - of course there were Micky and Candy, who had told about seeing the fireworks from here, but also the Appalachian Outdoors Adventure gang was there, and Jay and Ryanne from the F-watt group. We had a nice time visiting, and then when the fireworks began, everybody went out onto the porch and lawn to watch.
Perfect weather and a wonderful time. Hope yours was great too!
ADDED November 2010. The Victorian, under Dave and Val's management, has a new website: http://www.victorianinnluray.com/

I was disappointed in the duration of the fireworks at the show I saw in Loudoun County. Way too short. How was Luray's show?
