Fireworks fund gets bigger after match challenge

By Rich Wilson | Tuesday, March 24, 2009, 03:33 PM

HAMILTON — Groups, organizations and individuals who want to see fireworks in the city on the Fourth of July have responded to a challenge to match the contribution from a local charity organization.

The city’s Fourth of July committee now has more than $7,000 in contributions to support a fireworks show, said Bob Harris, parks and recreation director. Additional funds came in within days after Altrusa International offered $1,000 to support the cause.

Harris said he’s “cautiously optimistic” that there’ll be some form of a fireworks show during the city’s Fourth of July festivities.

Harris said fundraising will continue through April, and the committee will decide in May if there’s enough money to have a fireworks show.

To contribute, contact Karen Whalen of the Hamilton Community Foundation at (513) 863-1717.
