The actual event isn't happening until Saturday, is everyone honestly expected to be in a frenzy of excitement in the weeks leading up to it?
I'd imagine many people that are interested will just enjoy a few hours of enjoyment on the actual day
You'd think so wouldn't you? But it's not stopped the incessant emails from the Chair of our local Community Association, insisting something's GOT to be done to mark the occasion and what "a poor show" it is that nobody's volunteered.
The latest one, only yesterday, even said everyone should be "ashamed of themselves" ... thanks, pal 
Clearly there are a few communities here and there who do want a fuss, and good luck to them; I hope they have a lovely day, but overall I'm just not seeing it
