Fundraising Underway
Cameron County continues to put on one of the most spectacular firework displays in the region. But the length of the show may have to be trimmed in 2023. R&R Fireworks telling organizers that the cost to transport the fireworks increased by $30,000.00 this year. The result is passing the cost for the 2023 show on to customers like Cameron County Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber executive director Tina Johns Solak says the fireworks committee has decided it will increase fundraising efforts, so the show does not have to be scaled back. Businesses, individuals, organizations all contribute to the show each year along with the Firequacker Duck Derby and Easter Bunny Breakfast. “The committee is so thankful for the donations. Because of the anticipated increase, the public will see more fundraisers for the fireworks,” says Solak.
The first fundraiser is a donation only yard sale to be held in downtown Emporium on Saturday August 6. There will be no prices on the items only donation jars. All the funds raised will be given to the fireworks fund. The sale is set for 9 to noon in the former Dolan Hotel vacant lot
