Following the cancellation of this year’s Fourth of July fireworks due to a barge fire, Town Administrator Thatcher Kezer announced the $50,000 in donations will be applied to enhance next year’s celebration. The 2025 event is expected to be bigger, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.
Kezer clarified that no fireworks were on the barge during the fire in the early hours of July 4, which destroyed only launching equipment. The blaze was determined to be accidental. No one was injured.
The town plans to carry over deposits and continue fundraising efforts to make the 2025 fireworks display more impressive than in recent years.
