LAKEPORT >> While many communities have cut fireworks displays from their budgets, the City of Lakeport has kept this tradition alive and well. Once again on Saturday, July 4th a magnificent fireworks display will be produced by Pyro Spectaculars who has contracted for the show for a couple of decades, first with the Lake County Chamber of Commerce and now with the City directly. The display is fired off of barges purchased by the Chamber several years ago, well out into the lake to preclude causing accidental fires on shore.
Over the years, the Chamber has conducted an Add A Dollar Campaign to raise funds to help fund the fireworks. The campaign for 2015 has begun with Bruno’s Shop Smart in Lakeport. Additionally, donations can be dropped off at the Chamber office, 875 Lakeport Blvd., at Vista Point. All donations collected by the Chamber are given to the City to help offset the cost of the display. For questions concerning the donations, please contact the Chamber at (707) 263-5092.
