"This should be a really great show. Last year's show we had off of Davis Park, that was wonderful, and this year promises to be even better," says Pat Gillen, who captains a fishing boat at Captree.
The display will launch closer to the mainland to accommodate more spectators. There will even be an historic aircraft show, according to Gillen.
