By Lance Evans, Executive Director, Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce
The Chamber is thrilled to report that our annual Fourth of July Fireworks show in Eastsound is in-place, and ready to go on Monday, July 4! We should have a bang-up show, all originating in the waters of East Sound.
Viewing from the Waterfront Park and surrounding areas should be amazing. The Chamber believes the annual pyrotechnics show is an invaluable event that brings visitors to the island.
The cost of putting on a fireworks show has increased over the past few years. In years gone by, the $5,000 cost was simply absorbed into the Chamber’s annual budget. Stricter marine & Homeland Security regulations, and a new barge rental charge mean the Chamber is facing an $8,000 dollar shortfall.
We need your help! Please be a sponsor for this year’s show and help insure that we can continue the fireworks tradition in the years to come.
