4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS
 This year's fireworks display will happen on Saturday, July 3rd, at approximately 11:30pm. The location will again be the ramp at MEHS. The Chamber would like to extend a HUGE Thank you to Petro Marine Services, who are again providing this terrific display for the entire town. The pyrotechnics and the insurance are hugely expensive, to say nothing of the knowledge and manpower to put on a display like they have for the past several years. Please come out and enjoy the show, and thank Jerry Jacobs at Petro Marine when you can. |
