City to host fireworks for July 4
Fourth of July fireworks to celebrate the nation’s birthday will be held in Washington Park Thursday.
The fireworks show is by Zambelli Fireworks and will begin at dusk. A special fireworks committee is set up to take donations for the annual display, and an estimated $15,000 was raised.
With the Whiskey Rebellion Festival to be held next weekend in Washington, the city did not plan other July 4 events, explained Mayor Brenda Davis.
The four-day Whiskey Rebellion Festival begins July 11, featuring a Concert Under the Stars by the Washington Symphony Orchestra, followed by numerous events, musical entertainment and food on Friday and Saturday, ending with a classic car show Sunday.
