Boundary County's Fourth of July fireworks
celebration is one of the best and biggest
around. If you haven't seen it yet, make
this the year you go. Checklist of things
to bring to the Fireworks show: blanket or
lawn chairs, a jacket, mosquito repellant, and
patriotic fervor!
As part of the effort to raise funds to pay the
thousands of dollars it takes every year to put
on this show, organizers are putting on a
drawing. For $20, one can purchase a
ticket for a drawing for a $1,000 gift card for
Far North Outfitters, or for a $1,000 gift card
for Beck's Furniture Store. Only 100
tickets will be sold for each gift card, no
more, so each ticket has a 1 in 100 chance of
winning a $1,000 prize for a $20 purchase price.
Tickets are available from:
-Far North Outfitters
-Beck's Furniture Store
-Mountain West Bank
-Gary Leonard, 946-9579
The winners of the gift cards will be drawn and
announced at 9:30 p.m. just before the Fireworks
show at the Fairgrounds.
Donations to help support the Fourth of July
program are also accepted. Anyone wishing
to contribute should either visit Bonners Ferry
City Hall or make a check payable to Fireworks
City of Bonners Ferry and mail it to:

Get your family together and get ready to
celebrate a great Boundary County Fourth of
July. |
