It's on

Well, this is good news since it's nice to have fireworks on the Fourth of July since I can see them from my backyard, though part of my could do without the Classic City band after this rather shameless plea from the mother of one of the band members to raise money to pay them.

In the grand scheme of things, though $13,000 is a drop in the bucket out of our entire budget, this is the type of thing that might flourish if it was privately sponsored. In fact, with the appropriate amount to round up sponsors it's feasible to raise $30,000 and make this an even bigger event.
