As of mid-June, the Madeline Island Community Fireworks Fund had raised only $2750. That is just over one-third of the total amount needed to produce the Island's annual Fourth of July fireworks display in downtown La Pointe.
Each Fourth of July, an estimated five thousand people attend the Madeline Island community parade and the fireworks display. Contributions generally come from area businesses, Island residents and visitors.
This year's funding shortfall potentially threatens an Island tradition. Funds go to pay for the fireworks, safety crew, transportation and liability insurance.
For information on how and where to contribute, please contact the Madeline Island Chamber of Commerce, or send a check to:
MICC Fireworks Fund, P.O. Box 274, La Pointe, Wisconsin 54850
