' THE COMMITTEE PROVIDES THE FUNDING FOR 50ME OF THE CITY' S
SUNDAY NIGHT SPECIALS IN THE PARK. THE COMMITTEE NOW ALSO
j PROVIDES FUI�TDING FOR SEVERAL OTHER LITTLE ITEMS THAT TNE CITY
COVERED IN THE PAST. THIS CO-SHARING OF COST ALLOWS FOR
FUNDING OF MOST OF THE EVENTS DURING THE WEEK LONG
CELEBRATION. �
� THIS YEAR• AS WAS THE CASE LAST YEAR, WE CAN RECEIVE A
DISCOUNT' ON THE FIREWORKS FOR EARLY PAYMENT. WHAT THIS
REALLY DOES IS ALLOWS FOR MORE FIREWORKS TO BE BOUGHT, LIKE
THE US FLAG DISPLAY.
IT COST ABOUT $10, 000 TO RUN THE WEEK LONG LEPRECHAUN DAYS
EVENTS. THE COMMITTEE WILL AGAIN SEND OUT IT'S ANNUAL
LETTER TO ALL BUSINESSES ASKING F4R FUND�NG.
THIS YEARS FIREWORKS WILL BE SHOT OFF BY A PROFESSIONAL
SHOOTER. THE MEMBERS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAVE DECLINED
TO FIRE OFF THE FTREWORKS THIS YEAR,THIS HAS CAUSED AN
INCREASE IN THE COST OF THE FIREWORKS PACKAGE. ALSO THIS
YEAR'S PACKAGE INCLUDES ONE MILLION DOLLARS OF INSURANCE.
THE COMMITTEE IS ALSO REQUESTING THE TEMPORARY OVERNIGHT USE
OF PART OF THE MNDOT GARAGE FOR THE STORAGE OF THE FIREWORK. �
THE SHOOTER LTKES TO LEAVE THE FIREWORKS UNDER LOAK AND KEY
WHILE HE IS AT THE MOTEL FOR THE NIGHT.
LEPRECHAUN DAYS WILL RUN FROM SATURDAY, JULY 21ST THRU
jSUNDAY, JULY 29TH. FIREWORKS OI�T SATURDAY, JULY' 28TH, RAIN
� DATE OF SUNDAY, JULY 29TH.
THANKS TO YOU AND ALL THE CITY'S STAFF THE LEPRECHAUN DAYS
EVENTS WILL TAKE PL1�fCE.
