I think it defintely is more significant to us. I've been here for 50 years and I've seen so many of them. Most of us down here take personal pride in the whole process. When we go outside,most of our neighbors are outside too. It's been like that in every house/town I've lived in. If you're at work, everybody stops working and goes outside. It brings everybody together for a rare few minutes.
