About The Bargain Hunter
Daily News staff writer Julia Scott loves to find bargains on everything from groceries to Gucci. Her tips will help keep your hard earned cash where it belongs - in your pocket.
What about the one in Woodland Hills on Topanga Canyon Blvd? I thought it was to be held on Friday, July 4, 6 p.m. LA Pierce Symphonic & 9 p.m. fireworks. I read it in Monday's edition of the Daily News.
There is also a good display in Thousand Oaks at the Oaks Mall. The fireworks start at 9:00 and can be seen from many places, including the Janss Marketplace parking structure and a park that is on Capitan and Marjori.
Shepherd of the Hills Church in Porter Ranch is also having a huge fair and fireworks display on the 4th. Tons of people show up, and there's music, carnival food, and so on! Great place to be.
