Fireworks Fundraising

July 1, 2010

BOONE, Iowa---Boone businesses and residents have stepped up in an effort to put on this year's 4th of July fireworks display. As of Thursday, nearly $5,000 has been turned in to the city hall to help cover the $10,000 cost of the fireworks display. About a third of the money raised has come from Boone Mayor John Slights campaign to collect pop cans with the proceeds to go to fireworks. Slight has said anyone willing to make donations can still do so. He says any amount over and above the cost of the show will go toward next years fireworks display.
