It's party time...

WPT will celebrate the Fourth of July Tuesday night with a special presentation of A Capitol Fourth.

At 8 p.m., the extravaganza program from Washington D.C. will be a great way to warm up for the fireworks display in your Wisconsin community. Or, the encore presentation at 9:30 can be a good opportunity to reflect on the day as you wind down from some of the traditional Independence Day celebrations.

The special -- hosted by Jason Alexander -- will feature music, dazzling fireworks and appearances from Cuba Gooding, Jr., Vanessa Williams and Sesame Street's Elmo. Both Elmo and Alexander posted their thoughts on the line-up and the holiday to the show's Web site.

And, if the excitement of the day hasn't worn you out too much, or you just can't get enough fireworks, why not take a moment to create a dazzling display on your home computer.
