Make family plans to watch the Community Spirit aerial fireworks display on July 4th! Find your favorite viewing spot in the LC Valley and be ready for “oohs and aahs” to begin at 10pm.
FIREWORKS CHANGES: To make the aerial show more impressive when viewed at a distance, Community Spirit has re-balanced the fireworks with more four and five-inch shells. This should make the display higher with larger fireworks bursts. However, larger shells cost up to 4-times more than smaller shells, so the tradeoff is less total shells and a little shorter overall show.
PRE-SHOW CONCERTS CANCELED INDEFINITELY: For the foreseeable future, there will not be pre-show concerts at Adams Field in Clarkston prior to the aerial fireworks display. Adam’s Field, at Clarkston High School is closed to the public on July 4th.
HOW YOU CAN HELP! Last year, Community Spirit, the non-profit group funding the annual show, sounded the alarm about the need for increased funding. Public donations and additional sponsors were needed to bring the funding up to a new inflation level in order to sustain a quality aerial fireworks display.
Thankfully, the business community has stepped-up with more major sponsors and spirit sponsors with larger contributions for this year’s show. Increased individual donations are needed and appreciated too.
MAJOR SPONSORS are American Insurance, Clearwater River Casino, P1FCU, CCI/Speer, Lewiston Chevrolet and our media sponsor, McVey Entertainment.
Spirit Sponsors include Happy Day Restaurants, Lewis Clark Credit Union, Twin River Bank, Holiday Inn in Clarkston, Hazels/ Roosters restaurants, Hells Canyon Grand Hotel, Joe Hall Ford, WA Trust Bank, Rogers Toyota, Rogers Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler, Rogers Subaru, Inland Cellular, Mick McClure Honda, Pyro Paradise/Black Cat and Lohman Accounting.
Please consider giving an individual donation of any size to sustain the annual fireworks show. To donate please send your check made payable to Community Spirit, 55 Southway Ave, Lewiston, ID 83501.
