What can you get for a couple of bucks? Be entertained for thirty minutes with your family and
friends. Then, ending the day with a full heart, and appreciating the generosity of our community
and businesses. The Fourth of July Fireworks, put on by the Madras Sparklers could not be a
better entertainment value anywhere based on the production cost divided by the number of
adults in our community.
Mike Ahern, Mr. Sparkler himself, has been orchestrating the Fireworks display since 1981,
reaching out with the annual donation/sponsorship requests to fund this great Patriotic visual
celebration. THANK YOU to the many businesses that have contributed large donations along
with a huge list of individuals donating $5, $10, $20, $50 and $200 amounts every year.
The budget based on the anticipated donations for the Fireworks Display has been static over many years and the
cost for the production has incrementally increased every year. This visual entertainment enjoyed by all, needs
additional contributors to maintain and preferably enhance the show and/or the length.
If you have enjoyed the past shows, consider showing your appreciation by investing in the annual Fourth of July
event. Contributing $2-$5 for every family member and friend watching the Fireworks Monday night has great
entertainment value and you do not have to travel far to enjoy it. As a business contributor, consider your donation as
a sponsorship, tell your staff of your contribution and that you hope they enjoy the show. It will show your
engagement and that you value their quality of life in our community to invest in it.
As in the past, the Chamber is an easy stop to drop off your donation/sponsorship and the Madras Sparklers can
continue to present a Fourth of July Fireworks Display worthy of your expectations.
HAVE A SAFE FOURTH OF JULY!
