For us, WaterFire is calmness, relaxation, peacefulness. My friend and I both work at local hospitals and we try very hard to go to each and every WaterFire, especially after work.

We cannot explain adequately how much WaterFire means to us, but after a hard night at work, we get there late and it is just the most magical, soothing event. We sit quietly in one place and soak up the smells and sounds. We look like dogs sniffing the air when we first arrive, just loving the sweet scent of the burning logs.

We absolutely hate it when the WaterFire season is over and the very last ember has dimmed. And then, as winter approaches, we already look forward to next year.
