Sunday, July 4
The Annual Independence Day Fireworks Display, sponsored by the Rotary Club of St. Johns and area businesses, will be held Sunday July 4 at the St. Johns City Park. The fireworks will be provided by Night Magic Inc.. Live Music will be performed by Flashback, a classic rock band, starting at 8:00pm at the band shell.
This event is designed to be family oriented. Admission is free, however the costs are offset by raffle tickets sold by Rotary members and by donations from local businesses. Gold sponsors to date are: Searles Construction, Sparrow Clinton Hospital, and Koenigsknecht Family Dentistry.
“This is something people look forward to annually,” said Dr. Nick Koenigschnect, Rotary President. “This is family hometown entertainment. We are expecting record crowds as more and more people are seeking quality activities close to home.” Parking will be available at the high school and on city streets.
According to Brenda Terpening of the Clinton County Chamber of Commerce, the rain date for the fireworks will be the Saturday night of the Mint Festival in August.
