Editing Founder's Day

=History=
The town of Elysium Valley was founded in the year 1920 by a group of people who were exploring the Rocky Mountains. It took time to get the initial permits, but the town has continued to grow in size ever since.

=Participation=
About fifteen or so years ago a decision was made to let different groups in the Valley take charge of the Founder’s Day fireworks. It’s good advertising for the ones doing it but it can be a bit of a mixed bag as far as results go. Some put on really fantastic shows, but others are a bit...lackluster.

=Observance=
Every year on July 29th the town celebrates Founder's Day. It started with a simple town wide picnic, a speech from the Mayor, and a few games. As the town grew more things were added to the festivities: citizen of the year, parades, contests, and food stands. In 1983 the town began adding fireworks displays.<br>
Over time the festivities have grown larger. These days its a three day festival that begins on July 26th.
