Fireworks fund needs doughnations

The Fourth of July is less than a week away, but funding for the much-anticipated fireworks show is not as high as it should be. Coeur d'Alene Chamber of Commerce President Steve Wilson said the fireworks fund is about 10-12 percent behind where it normally is this time of year. "We're about $6,000 short of where we need to be," Wilson said Monday. The fireworks show and its fund exist because of donations from the community, including a range of personal donations and donations from local businesses and organizations. The goal for this year's show is about $25,000/Devin Heilman, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: Have you ever donated to the fireworks fund?
