FULLERTON FIREWORKS UPDATE:
“Due to the renovation project at Fullerton Field the 2014 Fullerton Fireworks display is being canceled.
The Fullerton Fireworks Foundation is sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We have all intentions of
providing another great fireworks display in 2015. We are still continuing our fundraising efforts for the
2015 display. If would like to make a donation please send your donation to Fullerton Fireworks Foundation,
P.O. Box 19433, Baltimore, MD 21206. Thank you for your continued support.
From Board Member Donna Bethke:
Please note that we waited until the equipment “showed up” on the field before making an official
announcement. Many may remember the committee cancelled the fireworks last year when told field
renovations would be done starting in April, 2013 and then at the last minute the county deferred the field
renovations.
Fundraising efforts are always ongoing. It takes almost $30K to pull off this event. The committee of approx. 8
people have worked themselves “to the bone” of behalf of NE Baltimore County to provide an event that this
community can boast about every year. HOWEVER, your help via a donation support of our fundraising
efforts or your help as a volunteer on the committee is needed. Watch for a “fall fund- raiser” to kick off our
2015 event.
