Ashley Garlick of the Chamber of Commerce addressed the board concerning the country’s 250th birthday celebration. She talked about putting together events for the public to experience, including fireworks. There are some that don’t want to have a fireworks display because of possible injuries that could occur in putting a display together. The board decided to take her proposal under advisement and put together a committee to decide what to do. They also approved July 18th as the day for the celebration.
