He asks for community’s help to enhance city display
With the time for ordering fireworks rapidly approaching, Burlington Mayor Bob Miller is reaching out to the community to help ensure residents have a bang-up time during the city’s July 4 observance.
“I would like next year’s (fireworks) display to be the biggest and best the city has ever had,” Miller said. “But, I need your help if I’m going to achieve this goal.”
The mayor said the city budgets $5,000 for its fireworks display. But admits that “amount of money does not buy much” of a show.
“I would like to challenge everyone in the city, including business, to help raise enough money for the July 2012 fireworks,” he said. “No amount is going to be too small; even $1 will help.”
Donations earmarked to the city fireworks display should be mailed or dropped off at City Hall, 300 N. Pine Street.
