The Community Service, Park & Recreation Commission will be discussing input of on the sale of LEGAL fireworks.
📅 Monday, August 24th
📍 City Hall
⏰ 6:00 PM
I will be there speaking on behalf of our football booster organization, and I believe it is important to make one thing very clear:
LEGAL fireworks sales are NOT the same as illegal fireworks.
Booster clubs and youth organizations selling legal fireworks are following the rules and using these sales to raise money to support our kids and community. The heartbreaking loss of a young woman is absolutely tragic, and my heart goes out to her family. 💔 But the focus should be on illegal fireworks, unsafe use, education, and enforcement — not organizations that are following the law.
Illegal fireworks will continue to exist whether or not booster clubs sell legal fireworks. We have even seen devastating tragedies involving illegal fireworks in our own surrounding communities.
We should absolutely hold people accountable for illegal and dangerous choices, while continuing to educate our community about fireworks safety.
Please come out Monday night and make your voice heard. This decision could directly impact booster clubs, youth organizations, and the programs that depend on legal fireworks sales to support our kids.
💙 If you support our youth organizations and believe legal fundraising should remain separate from illegal fireworks use, PLEASE ATTEND and speak up!
