Every
Fourth of July (well, actually, the day before, on July 3rd), the
residents who live and vacation along Conesus Lake get together to hold a
fireworks event called the Ring Of Fire. The lake is long and narrow
(8 miles long, and maybe 1/2 mile wide), and all along the lake shore,
on both sides, fireworks are launched at various points at various
times. At any point during the show, you can look in front of you, or
up and down the lake, and see fireworks going off in all directions. At
the end, flares (according to Wikipedia, around 10,000 flares) are lit
along the entire lake shore, which makes the lake become literally
surrounded by a ring of fire.
